Variant translocation t(7;922) during lymphoid blastic crisis in a case of Ph1-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia with previous EBV infection. 1986

C Mecucci, and F Ghione, and A Louwagie, and A Criel, and H Van den Berghe

We report the case of a 19-year-old girl in whom a Ph1-positive chronic myeloid leukemia was diagnosed 10 months after an episode of infectious mononucleosis. Clinical and cytogenetical follow-up demonstrated the appearance of a variant Philadelphia chromosome translocation t(7;9;22) during a blastic crisis characterized by early B-lymphoid elements. The association between the t(7;9;22) variant Philadelphia and the lymphoid blast cells is emphasized, and the importance of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in the pathogenesis of the disease in this case is discussed.

D010677 Philadelphia Chromosome An aberrant form of human CHROMOSOME 22 characterized by translocation of the distal end of chromosome 9 from 9q34, to the long arm of chromosome 22 at 22q11. It is present in the bone marrow cells of 80 to 90 per cent of patients with chronic myelocytic leukemia (LEUKEMIA, MYELOGENOUS, CHRONIC, BCR-ABL POSITIVE).
