Abstract:Here we report an unusual case of Chronic Myelogeneous Leukemia (CML) developing towards an Acute Myelogeneous Leukemia subtype M5 (AML-M5). The chromosomal constitution was at (final) stage of AML-M5: Philadelphia chromosome positivity with multiple trisomies, a double t (9; 22) (q34; q11) and an AML1/MDS1/EVI1 (AME) fusion transcript resulting from a t (3; 21) (q26; q22). The latter translocation was detectable first in blast phase of CML and remained present in AML-M5 stage. Overall, four chromosomal analys… Show more
