Abstract
Translocation (14;14)(q11;q32) with immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) (14q32) and CCAAT enhancer-binding protein (CEBPE) (14q11) involvement is a rare cytogenetic aberration in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (B-ALL) associated with a favorable prognosis. This study compares the genetic profile and outcome of a new case with previously reported cases of B-ALL with t(14;14)(q11;q32). In the context of routine diagnostic procedure, a case of B-ALL with t(14;14)(q11;q32) and IGH-CEBPE fusion was identified in a 53-year-old female. The patient achieved complete remission (CR) during induction chemotherapy and remained stable on maintenance therapy for 8 months before passing away from infectious complications, without evidence of leukemic disease. The rapid and sustained treatment response supports the concept that t(14;14)(q11;q32) with IGH and CEBPE involvement may represent a novel B-ALL subgroup distinguished by a favorable prognosis.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Hematopathology aims at providing pathologists with a special interest in hematopathology with all the information needed to perform modern pathology in evaluating lymphoid tissues and bone marrow. To this end the journal publishes reviews, editorials, comments, original papers, guidelines and protocols, papers on ancillary techniques, and occasional case reports in the fields of the pathology, molecular biology, and clinical features of diseases of the hematopoietic system.
The journal is the unique reference point for all pathologists with an interest in hematopathology. Molecular biologists involved in the expanding field of molecular diagnostics and research on lymphomas and leukemia benefit from the journal, too. Furthermore, the journal is of major interest for hematologists dealing with patients suffering from lymphomas, leukemias, and other diseases.
The journal is unique in its true international character. Especially in the field of hematopathology it is clear that there are huge geographical variations in incidence of diseases. This is not only locally relevant, but due to globalization, relevant for all those involved in the management of patients.
