Abstract:
A 3-year-old female was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML-M2). The disease was refractory to various chemotherapeutic agents. Cytogenetic analysis revealed a clone with trisomy 8 at diagnosis that was replaced by a clone containing a t(11;15) and del(20q) by the end of the second induction. A new clone, characterized by a Philadelphia chromosome, with the minor BCR/ABL p190 transcript, emerged 14 months after diagnosis and remained to the end of disease course. The late occurrence of the Philadelphia chromosome in AML has been documented rarely in adults.
