Translocation (8;18;16)(p11;q21;p13). A new variant of t(8;16)(p11;p13) in acute monoblastic leukemia: case report and review of the literature.
A complex three-way t(8;18;16)(p11;q21;p13) was detected in a 15-month-old patient with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The patient had typical clinical manifestation and bone marrow features of AML subtype M5b associated with t(8;16)(p11;p13). Therefore, we believe that the t(8;18;16) is a new variant of t(8;16) related to AML M4/M5. We also review other t(8;16)(p11;p13) variants reported in the literature.
