title: INV(12) (p13q11) and dicentric chromosomes in a secondary leukaemia with basophilia.
abstract: We report on a case of secondary myelodysplasia with basophilia. A karyotype showed 1) the involvement of 12p, which should be related to the basophilia and/or to previous drug exposure, and 2) the unexpected presence of three different dicentric chromosomes.
