title: Translocation (2;4)(p23;q25): an additional case of a new recurrent anomaly in acute myeloid leukemia.
abstract: A second case of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a t(2;4)(p23;q25) as the sole anomaly is reported. Our case had a de novo AML (M2); the case previously described had AML (M2) post-MDS. It is suggested that t(2;4)(p23;q25) is a new, recurrent, but rare anomaly in AML.
