title: Translocation t(15;17) in acute myelogenous leukemia with atypical megakaryoblastic features: diagnostic, clinical, and therapeutic implications.
abstract: We describe the first reported case of acute myelogenous leukemia with characteristics of megakaryoblastic differentiation and the t(15;17) chromosomal translocation, which has been associated with promyelocytic leukemia. The diagnostic, clinical, and therapeutic implications are discussed.
