Background:
- T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a rare subtype of leukemia.
- The Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) translocation, t(9;22), is typically associated with chronic myeloid leukemia and B-cell ALL.
- Its presence in T-ALL is uncommon and its prognostic significance is not well-established.
