A boy with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who underwent lineage switch at relapse is reported. The second leukemia was myeloid in nature (acute myeloid leukemia, AML), characterized by predominantly My 9 positive blasts at first and at second relapse. Cytogenetic studies at second relapse revealed the translocation (9;11) (p21;q23) in all examined blasts. This is typical for myelomonocytic leukemia. The nature of the relapse and the occurrence of t(9;11) translocations in acute leukemia are discussed.
报告了一名急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)男孩,其在复发时发生了谱系转换。第二次白血病本质上是髓系的(急性髓系白血病,AML),首次和第二次复发时主要以My 9阳性原始细胞为特征。第二次复发时的细胞遗传学研究显示,所有检测的原始细胞中均存在易位(9;11)(p21;q23)。这是髓单核细胞白血病的典型特征。本文讨论了急性白血病复发的性质以及t(9;11)易位的发生情况。
