A patient with Burkitt's lymphoma is described who, on presentation, had a bone marrow aspirate which did not show abnormal cells. Cells from the bone marrow were cultured and an 8;14 chromosome translocation was identified. This finding allowed us to upgrade the stage of disease from III to IV with therapeutic as well as prognostic implications.
报告了一名伯基特淋巴瘤患者,初诊时骨髓穿刺未发现异常细胞。对骨髓细胞进行培养后,发现了8号与14号染色体易位。这一发现使我们能够将疾病分期从III期提升至IV期,这对治疗和预后均有影响。
