title: [Interstitial 9q deletion: a primary change in acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia?].
abstract: Two cases of acute non-lymphoblastic leukaemia (ANLL), subtypes M1 and M5b, are presented. Both of them showed the 9q-interstitial deletion as the only abnormality. From our observations and others found in the literature it can be inferred that such abnormality might be a primary finding in ANLL, related to an unfavourable prognosis, regardless the morphological subtype.
