An Unsuspected Finding of t(9;22): A Rare Case of Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive B-Lymphoblastic Lymphoma
While rare, cases of isolated extramedullary disease of B-cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma (B-LBL) without morphologic bone marrow involvement have been described. In this report, we illustrate the case of an elderly gentleman who presented with isolated testicular and vertebral LBL involvement but had no morphologic bone marrow involvement. The initial plan of treatment was to treat along the lines...
متن کاملA Cryptic ETV6/ABL1 Rearrangement Represents a Unique Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization Signal Pattern in a Patient with B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Although rearrangements involving each ETV6 and ABL1 gene are some of the most commonly observed chromosomal translocations in hematological malignancies [1, 2], an ETV6/ABL1 rearrangement is very rare, and only 29 such cases have been reported to date [3]. This fusion has been associated with a wide range of hematological malignancies, including 11 cases of atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (B...

Patients with BCR-ABL1 positive hematologic malignancies and Philadelphia-like B-lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) are potential candidates for targeted therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). Before TKIs, patients with B-ALL had a much worse prognosis and current treatments with targeted TKI therapy have improved outcomes. Thus, the detection of BCR-ABL1 is crucial and a false negative BCR...
متن کاملThe e1a3 BCR-ABL1 Fusion Transcript in Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Dear Editor In a recent issue of Annals of Laboratory Medicine, Shin and colleagues described two cases of Philadelphia chromosomepositive (Ph+) ALL expressing e1a3 BCR-ABL1 gene fusion product and listed other cases reported thus far that involve this fusion [1]. A basic literature review using the search term “e1a3” reveals two additional adult cases that should have been included in this lis...
متن کاملbcr rearrangement and translocation of the c-abl oncogene in Philadelphia positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
The Philadelphia (Ph1) chromosome, the cytogenetic hallmark of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), has also been detected in a significant number of acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALL). Using in situ hybridization, we demonstrate that in accordance with observations in CML the Ph1 chromosome in ALL patients is the result of a consistent translocation of the c-abl oncogene to the Ph1 chromosome. Sou...
