Burkitt's type translocation in multiple myeloma.
We report a case of multiple myeloma with a t(8;22)(q24;q11) found during the progression of the disease. The relation between the association of a Burkitt's type translocation with cytological characteristic features is presented. To our knowledge, there is no report of a multiple myeloma with t(8;22)(q24;11).
