We describe a case with the simultaneous occurrence of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Peripheral blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM) smears showed typical CML features. Lymph node biopsy exhibited a large-cell NHL. The Philadelphia chromosome or its molecular counterpart, the BCR-ABL gene fusion, by detecting with dual color-(DC) fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), was detected reliably both in metaphase spreads from BM and in interphase nuclei from BM and follow-up PB cells, but was not detected in the lymph node cells. Clinical features and laboratory findings show this case having a coexistence of CML and NHL.
我们描述了一例同时发生慢性粒细胞白血病(CML)和非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)的病例。外周血(PB)和骨髓(BM)涂片显示典型的CML特征。淋巴结活检显示为大细胞NHL。通过双色(DC)荧光原位杂交(FISH)检测,费城染色体或其分子对应物BCR-ABL基因融合,在BM中期分裂相以及BM和随访PB细胞的间期核中均能可靠检测到,但在淋巴结细胞中未检测到。临床特征和实验室检查结果表明该病例存在CML和NHL并存的情况。
