Cytogenetic heterogeneity in blast crisis (BC) of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).
New cytogenetic findings are reported in a patient who entered into an accelerated blastic phase of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). The cytogenetic findings of this case can be described as 46, xy, t (5;7) (q 31;q 11), t (9;22) (q 34;q 11), Ph'. The prognostic implications in such patients with rare and unusual cytogenetic findings are discussed.
