Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) is a heterogeneous group of highly aggressive mature B-cell malignancies. It is characterized by a high rate of turnover of malignant cells and deregulation of the c-myc gene. It is typically associated with a t(8;14) translocation. Dual translocation of t(8;14) (c-myc) and t(14;18) (bcl-2) was reported to be associated with extremely poor prognosis. This study reports a novel t(8;14;18) triple translocation in two patients with Burkitt's lymphoma.
伯基特淋巴瘤(BL)是一组异质性的高度侵袭性成熟B细胞恶性肿瘤。其特征为恶性细胞的高更新率以及c-myc基因的失调。它通常与t(8;14)易位相关。据报道,t(8;14)(c-myc)和t(14;18)(bcl-2)的双重易位与极差的预后相关。本研究报告了两例伯基特淋巴瘤患者中出现的一种新的t(8;14;18)三重易位。
