pubmed:abstractText
Atypical chronic myeloid leukaemia (aCML) belongs to the myeloproliferative/myelodysplastic category of haematological disease. Main characteristics are marked dysgranulopoiesis, bone marrow dysfunction and the failure to demonstrate the presence of the Philadelphia chromosome or BCR/ABL fusion gene normally associated with CML t(9;22)(q34;q11). It carries a poor prognosis with limited therapeutic options available. Most cases of aCML have one or more karyotypic abnormalities. We highlight a clinical presentation of aCML associated with an acquired reciprocal whole-arm translocation (WAT), t(X;12)(p10;p10), which to our knowledge has not yet been described. We also discuss how such a translocation might lead to tumorigenesis.
