Four cases of t(4;11) acute leukemia and its myelomonocytic nature in infants.

چکیده
Four cases of acute infantile leukemia with translocation (4;11) (q21;q23) are reported. Although leukemia with this chromosomal abnormality has been classified as L2 acute lymphoblastic leukemia by the FAB classification, two of our cases appeared to be of myelomonocyte origin as demonstrated by cytochemical, immunologic, and electron microscopic studies and differentiation induction by 12-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate and methylformamide. This chromosomal change is associated with poor prognosis.

A Rare Case of Acute Myeloid Leukemia with Translocation (3:3) Presenting with Features of Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia
Background: Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) with translocation (3,3) is a form of AML that may present de novo or may arise from a previous myelodysplastic syndrome. It is often associated with normal or elevated peripheral blood platelet count and increased bone marrow megakaryocytes with associated multi lineage dysplasia. A subset of patients present with hepatosplenomegaly while a few cases h...
متن کاملAn analysis of leukemic cell chromosomal features in infants.
Leukemic cell chromosomal findings in 27 infants were analyzed. Among the 18 cases of acute nonlymphoblastic leukemia (ANLL), all but two were classified as monocytic or myelomonocytic. The remaining nine cases were acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), seven lacking the common ALL antigen and two having cytoplasmic immunoglobulin (pre-B phenotype). Twenty-five cases (93%) had an abnormal karyoty...

Background: Acute leukemias comprise a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by rapid and uncontrolled clonal expansion of progenitor cells of the hematopoietic system. Immunophenotyping helps subclassify acute leukemias into subgroups with prognostic implications. Materials and Methods: This descriptive observational cross-sectional study was performed on 80 newly diagnosed cases of a...
متن کاملMyelodysplastic syndrome coexisting with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
A 55 year old woman developed chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML) one year after she had been successfully treated for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). When the ALL relapsed the CMML remitted only to return with further remission of the ALL. A consistent chromosomal abnormality, t(4;11), was present during both CMML and ALL phases.

The t(4;11)(q21;q23) chromosomal abnormality was identified in 40 (2%) of 1,986 children with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This translocation was associated with female sex (63%), age less than 1 year (60%), hyperleukocytosis (median leukocyte count, 156.5 x 10(9)/L), CD10-/CD19+ B-precursor cell immunophenotype, and myeloid-associated antigen (CD15) expression (63%).
