Abstract
A 53-year-old man diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)-small lymphoma following splenectomy was found to have a t(8;14) with an apparent cryptic deletion of the MYC gene. This patient's spleen and bone marrow (BM) showed that 93% and approximately 70% of the viable cells, respectively, were lambda-monoclonal B-cells coexpressing CD5 with CD20, CD19, CD23, CD22, CD38, and low FMC-7. The smear showed a marked increase in small, mature lymphoid cells, with <2% prolymphocytes. The BM karyotype was 46,XY,t(8;14)(q24;q32),-18,+mar[3]/46,XY[27] and FISH analysis with an IGH/MYC green-red dual-fusion signal probe showed an atypical interphase result of one fusion, two green, and one red signal in 70% of the cells. The MYC dual red-green split-apart probe showed the expected t(8;14) pattern in 62% of the cells; however, sequential FISH on a t(8;14) GTG-metaphase showed the single fusion signal on derivative chromosome 8 and only a green signal on der(14) for the IGH/MYC dual-fusion probe and a green signal on der(14), red signal on der(8), and fusion signal on the normal chromosome 8 for the MYC split-apart probe. Thus, the apparently balanced t(8;14) had a cryptic deletion (approximately 1.6 Mb) between the red and the gre...Continue Reading
