Abstract
- In addition to age, white cell count and immunophenotype, karyotype has been reported to be one of the important prognostic factors in acute lymphocytic leukemias.Furthermore 70 percent of patients with acute B lymphocytic leukemia presented chromosomal abnormalities, which is known to have a close relationship with the prognosis. Among the abnormalities, triploid is rare and known to have the worse prognosis. Structural chromosomal abnormality of the 11q23 band is more common in childhood acute lymphocytic leukemia and has been rarely reported in adult lymphocytic leukemia. We present a case of a 29 year - old male patient with acute lymphocytic leukemia, who had triploid and chromosomal translocation including 11q23 band along with the review of related literature.
