Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) associated with myeloid antigens on the surface of B neoplastic cells is a recently identified immunologic variant confined to patients with CD5 negative B-CLL. We describe the case of a 61-year-old female diagnosed with CD5(-), CD13(+) B-CLL with a tetrasomy 3q revealed by fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis, in addition to trisomy 18. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of B-CLL with this kind of cytogenetic abnormality.
与B肿瘤细胞表面髓系抗原相关的慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)是一种最近发现的免疫变异型,仅见于CD5阴性的B-CLL患者。我们描述了一例61岁女性患者,诊断为CD5(-)、CD13(+)的B-CLL,荧光原位杂交分析显示除18号染色体三体外,还有3号染色体长臂四体。据我们所知,这是首例报道的具有这种细胞遗传学异常的B-CLL病例。
