An 8;20 chromosomal translocation was observed in the leukemia cells of a 3-year-old girl. To our knowledge, this is the first report of this translocation in de novo acute leukemia. This chromosomal defect was present in the leukemia cells at diagnosis and also at relapse, but remission bone marrow cells had the 46,XX karyotype. By morphologic and cytochemical criteria the leukemia was myeloid but these features were more lymphoid when the leukemia recurred. However, the immunophenotype was consistent with myeloid leukemia and did not change at relapse. No evidence for either immunoglobulin or TCR gene rearrangement was observed.
