Abstract:
A case of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in a 16-year-old male with a 47,XYY karyotype is reported. This chromosome aneuploidy was found in both bone marrow (BM) cells and mitogen-stimulated lymphocytes. Immunologic profile of leukemic cells showed a null phenotype. To our knowledge, this is the fifth case reported in the literature.
