Abstract

Although occasional patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) have chromosomal changes other than Philadelphia chromosome early in the disease, in typical cases the 9;22 translocation remains the sole abnormality throughout the disease course in chronic phase. When disease progression occurs, however, 75-80% develop additional chromosome aberrations. These secondary changes sometimes precede the more aggressive manifestations hematologically and clinically and thus may serve as valuable prognostic indicators. ider (9) (q10)t (9;22) (q34;q11.2) is very rare and a recurrent chromosomal abnormality associated with acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALL) and lymphoblastic crisis of CML. And ider (9) (q10)t (9;22) (q34;q11.2) is a lymphoid-specific rearrangement and the patients with this abnormality are of older age on average. They commonly show pre-B cell lineage immunophenotype and L2 morphology. We report a case of ider (9) (q10)t (9;22) (q34;q11.2) as secondary aberration in a patient with lymphoblastic crisis of CML.
