title: Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia with unusual chromosomal abnormality: t(3;9) (p21;p13), del(10p12) [13].
abstract: We report a case of pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukaemia with an unusual translocation between chromosome 3 and 9, with del(10p12) [13]. The diagnosis at presentation was made by the morphology, cytochemistry and immunophenotyping. Cytogenetic analysis was also done at presentation. To the best of our knowledge and after literature search this appears to be a rare cytogenetic abnormality in ALL.
