title: New variant translocation (8;20)(q22;q13) in acute myelocytic leukemia.
abstract: A new variant translocation, (8;20)(q22;q13) in a patient with acute myelocytic leukemia (AML) M2 is reported. As far as we know, this is the second case of the t(8;20) in de novo AML. Further studies are required to clarify the key event leading to the development of AML-M2.
