Unusual myeloid leukaemia in patient with Hodgkin's disease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An unusual case of leukaemia in a patient with Hodgkin's disease is described. The leukaemic blast cell population was typified by the presence of a substantial proportion of binucleate and multinucleate cells, many of which had the morphological features of Sternberg-Reed cells. The circulating and bone marrow blast cells were shown by immunophenotyping to be of myeloid origin.

Chronic granulocytic leukaemia developing upon a follicular lymphoma.
Leukaemia has been reported' recently in association with apparently unrelated haematological malignancies in patients treated with cytotoxic drugs. These leukaemias are mainly acute myeloid or variants such as acute myelomonocytic3 or erythroleukaemia.' We describe a case of chronic granulocytic leukaemia (CGL) developing in a patient with a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with alkylating agent...
متن کاملCyclic oscillations of leucocyte counts in chronic myeloid leukaemia.
A patient with chronic myeloid leukaemia, having two unusual features, is described. He had absence of splenomegaly and marked periodic fluctuations of leucocyte counts, occurring spontaneously, in the initial phase of the disease. The latter finding suggests that, at least in some patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia, negative feed back control mechanism(s), possibly exerted by colony stimu...

Conventional cytogenetic is the standard technique for detection of Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Evaluation of abelson murine leukemia/breakpoint cluster region (abl/bcr) fusion using dual-colour fluorescence in situ hybridization (D-FISH) is an alternative approach allowing rapid and reliable detection of the disease. We employed the technique of interphase D...
متن کاملSecondary Leukemia in a non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Patient Presenting as Myeloid Sarcoma of the Breast
As defined by the World Health Organization classification of tumors of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissue, myeloid sarcoma (MS) is a tumor mass of myeloblasts or immature myeloid cells that can arise before, concurrent with, or following acute myeloid leukaemia. We describe a case of secondary leukemia presenting itself as MS of the breast in a patient previously treated for a non-Hodgkin's Lym...

Background Classification of cancer subtypes by means of microarray signatures is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore as a potential to transform pathological diagnosis nonetheless, measurement of Indicator genes in routine practice appears to be arduous. In a preceding published study, we utilized real-time PCR measurement of Indicator genes in acute lymphoid leukaemia (ALL) and acute m...
