Temporal Chondroblastoma with a Novel Chromosomal Translocation (2;5) (q33;q13)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The case of a 51-year-old man with a large temporal mass is presented. The mass eroded the floor of the middle fossa medially to the sphenoid sinus. A combined approach with neurosurgery and otolaryngology was performed to achieve maximal resection of the mass. Pathology was typical for chondroblastoma: a rare, benign but locally invasive chondroid tumor. Genetic testing revealed a translocation of (2;5) (q33;q13). This is a unique genetic mutation in all chondroid tumors to our knowledge. The diagnostic utility or role of this mutation in the pathobiology of this tumor remains to be determined.

Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma with atypical chromosomal translocation t(2;5) and hypophyseal tumor
Anaplastic large T-cell lymphoma (ALCL) is frequently associated with the t(2;5)(p23;q35). Here, we report a case of ALCL with an atypical translocation of t(2;5)(p24;q13) and other complex translocations. This complex abnormal karyotype may result in chemotherapy resistance and a poor outcome. Interestingly, a hypophyseal tumor was detected simultaneously by magnetic resonance imaging in this ...

Variant Burkitt-type translocation, t(8;22)(q24;q11), is very rare in plasma cell myeloma. We report a 51-year-old male patient with plasma cell myeloma, who showed t(8;22) (q24;q11). He suffered from pelvic pain for two months, and showed IgG, lambda type of monoclonal gammopathy (5.14 g/dL; 49.9% of protein). His bone marrow examination showed increased plasma cells (66.9% of all nucleated ce...
متن کاملShort reports Anaplastic large cell lymphoma with the t(2;5)(p23;q35) NPM/ALK chromosomal translocation and duplication of the short arm of the non-translocated chromosome 2 involving the full length of the ALK gene
This report describes a case of anaplastic large cell lymphoma with the canonical t(2;5)(p23;q35) translocation in association with duplication of the short arm of the non-translocated chromosome 2, as demonstrated by two colour fluorescence in situ hybridisation. Because the tumour cells were tetraploid, these abnormalities were in duplicate, with four copies of the full length ALK gene and tw...
متن کاملAn acquired translocation in JAK2 Val617Phe-negative essential thrombocythemia associated with autosomal spread of X-inactivation.
The acquired mutation Val617Phe in the tyrosine kinase JAK2 was recently identified in most but not all patients with classical myeloproliferative disorders. We describe a cytogenetic and molecular study of a JAK2Val617Phe-negative case of essential thrombocythemia harboring the acquired translocation t(X;5)(q13;q33). We show that this involves the inactive X-chromosome and is associated with s...
متن کاملNew reciprocal translocation t(5;10)(q33;q22) associated with atypical chronic myeloid leukemia.
We report a new chromosomal reciprocal translocation t(5;10)(q33;q22) in a 49-year-old man with atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (a-CML) and history of occupational exposure to petroleum products including benzene and other hydrocarbons. The t(5;10) (q33;q22) was found in 94% and 84% of metaphases in peripheral blood and bone marrow cells, respectively. Cytogenetic analysis of single colonies ...
