Abstract:
A not yet recorded translocation, t(3:17)(q21;q23), detected in a case of acute myelomonocytic leukemia, is reported. In spite of an aggressive cytotoxic chemotherapy, the disease showed a rapid fatal course, confirming the dismal prognostic significance of structural, 'primary' chromosomal abnormalities in acute leukemias.
