Simultaneous occurrence of a T-cell lymphoma and a chronic myelogenous leukemia with an unusual karyotype

Leuk Res. 1984;8(4):647-57. doi: 10.1016/0145-2126(84)90013-4.

Abstract

The simultaneous occurrence of malignant T-cell lymphoma and chronic myelogenous leukemia is reported. The lymph nodes contained E rosette forming cells. Blood and bone marrow cell morphology were consistent with the diagnosis of chronic myelogenous leukemia. Lymph nodes, bone marrow and blood mitosis showed a t(6;8) (6pter----6q27 ::8p12----8pter;6qter----6q27 ::8p12----8qter) translocation. So far a number of recent reports have shown simultaneous B lymphoid and myeloid proliferations in some malignancies, this is apparently the first reported case of simultaneous T lymphoid and myeloid proliferations.
