title: A new variant chromosomal translocation t(2;2)(p23;q23) in CD30+/Ki-1+ anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
abstract: A case with a complex chromosome abnormality with a t(2;2)(p23;q23) in CD30+/Ki-1+ anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is described. This chromosome aberration has not been reported previously in neoplastic diseases and was associated with T-cell phenotype and involvement of the nasopharynx by the tumour.
