Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Hematology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Pentasomy of chromosome 8 is a rare chromosomal abnormality.
  • Acute monoblastic leukemia (FAB AML M5a) is an aggressive subtype of leukemia.

Observation:

  • A 30-year-old male presented with de novo acute monoblastic leukemia.
  • Genetic analysis revealed pentasomy of chromosome 8 in this patient.

Findings:

  • The co-occurrence of pentasomy 8 and de novo acute monoblastic leukemia (FAB AML M5a) is reported.
  • This case highlights a unique genetic profile in acute myeloid leukemia.

Implications:

  • Understanding rare chromosomal aberrations in leukemia is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
