A translocation between a chromosome 15 and a chromosome 17 was found in the bone marrow of a 14-year-old boy who had clinical and laboratory symptoms of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). As far as we know, this is the sixth case of APL with 15/17 translocation to be reported in the literature. This observation gives further support to the hypothesis that there is an association between this chromosomal rearrangement and APL.
