Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Oncology
  • Cytogenetics

Background:

  • Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is typically associated with the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph).
  • Ph-negative CML accounts for a minority of CML cases.
  • Complex chromosomal rearrangements are uncommon in Ph-negative CML.

Observation:

  • A case of Ph-negative CML is presented.
  • The patient exhibited complex chromosomal changes: t(3;7)(q21;q32), t(4;9)(q21;q34), and del(8)(q22).
  • The diagnosis was accelerated phase CML.

Findings:

  • The presented case is unusual due to the presence of complex chromosomal abnormalities in Ph-negative CML.
  • The specific translocations and deletion suggest a distinct genetic profile.

Implications:

  • Detailed cytogenetic and molecular analysis is essential for characterizing this rare CML subtype.
  • Understanding this case may refine the classification of myeloproliferative disorders.
  • This study highlights the genetic heterogeneity within CML.
