Abstract:
We report a case of acute myelogenous leukemia with a variant translocation involving chromosomes 5 and 21 with breakpoints on 5q13 and 21q22 as revealed by various techniques including fluorescence in situ hybridization. The unusual presentation of t(5;21)(q13;q22), as the sole abnormality in acute myelogenous leukemia, is atypical.
