The translocation (8;21)(q22;q22) is commonly associated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) M2 according to the French-American-British (FAB) classification. We describe 11 cases of t(8;21) diagnosed by strict FAB criteria. Six cases were diagnosed as AML M2, 3 cases as AML M4, 1 case as refractory anemia with excess of blasts in transformation, and 1 case as Philadelphia chromosome negative chronic myeloid leukemia in acceleration. Translocation (8;21) could thus occur in a wider variety of hematological abnormalities. Accordingly, we propose that t(8;21) may involve different hemopoietic lineages.
根据法美英(FAB)分类,易位(8;21)(q22;q22)通常与急性髓系白血病(AML)M2相关。我们描述了11例根据严格FAB标准诊断的t(8;21)病例。6例被诊断为AML M2,3例为AML M4,1例为转化型原始细胞增多的难治性贫血,1例为加速期费城染色体阴性慢性髓系白血病。因此,易位(8;21)可能发生在更广泛的血液学异常中。据此,我们提出t(8;21)可能涉及不同的造血谱系。
