title: A case of chronic myelogenous leukemia with 11q- in blast crisis with monoblastic differentiation.
abstract: We report a case of chronic myeloid leukemia in monoblastic blast crisis in which a deletion of chromosome 11 (11q-) was detected. Such a finding seems to provide further support to a relationship between this chromosome anomaly and monocytic proliferation.
