Detection of abl/bcr Fusion Gene in Patients Affected by Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia by Dual-Colour Interphase Fluorescence in situ Hybridisation
Conventional cytogenetic is the standard technique for detection of Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Evaluation of abelson murine leukemia/breakpoint cluster region (abl/bcr) fusion using dual-colour fluorescence in situ hybridization (D-FISH) is an alternative approach allowing rapid and reliable detection of the disease. We employed the technique of interphase D...

A 45-yr-old female presented with a rapidly enlarging bony tumor that was eventually identified as a Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1)-positive myeloproliferative disorder with extramedullary blastic transformation. This transformation occurred in the absence of demonstrable chronic or acute leukemic phase. She had no history of a chronic or prodromal illness in spite of a bone marrow biopsy showin...
متن کاملA case of chronic myeloid leukaemia in blast transformation with leukemic ascites.
Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML) is a disease characterised by a distinctive marker that is the Philadelphia Chromosome and an ability to transform into blast phase, which confers a poor prognosis. The median survival was reported to be between three to six months in correlation to blast phase. Extramedullary involvement with CML to sites such as pleural, meningeal and bones have been reported. ...
متن کاملChronic myeloid leukaemia occurring in a patient with hairy cell leukaemia.
Occurrences of second malignancies in hairy cell leukaemia are well recognised. Most of these malignancies are either solid tumours or lymphoproliferative disorders. The association of myeloproliferative disorders with hairy cell leukaemia (HCL) is very rare. This report describes a case of a patient with HCL who after remaining in remission developed Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic my...
