Chronic myelogenous leukemia with t(9;22) and t(8;11): a new chromosome anomaly

A case of chronic myelogenous leukemia in an elderly man with a new translocation, t(8;11)(q24;q13), associated with a Philadelphia t(9;22) translocation is described. The clinical and hematologic aspects of the disease did not seem to differ from those of the usual cases of chronic myelogenous leukemia except for a basophilic blast crisis.
