title: Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma associated with a near-tetraploid karyotype, rearrangement of BCL6, and a t(11;14)(q13;q32).
abstract: Chromosome analysis of a patient with intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVL) revealed a complex, near-tetraploid karyotype with 83 chromosomes. Abnormalities included a t(11;14)(q13;q32), which was confirmed with both interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using an IGH/cyclin D1 dual-color, dual-fusion probe set and cyclin D1 immunohistochemical analysis. Abnormality of 3q was also evident. Interphase FISH analysis with a dual-color, break-apart probe set confirmed rearrangement of BCL6. To our knowledge, this is the first report of these abnormalities in IVL.
