| Partial karyotype showing the t(16;21) and a +8 |
| Comments |
| The t(16;21)(q24;q22) is mainly found in t-MDS/t-AML (14/16 cases (1-10)), following breast cancer therapy (five cases (7,8,10)), lymphoma (four cases), Hodgkin's disease, lung and oviductal cancers and AML-M3 (one case each). Trisomy 8, the secondary change found in the current case, is also reported in most if not all patients with previous breast cancer (7,8,10). To note, three out of five patients had lymphoid positive antigenes (5,7, current case). All of the nine patients whose treatments were reported (3-9), plus the current case, were treated with a combination of alkylating agents and topoisomerase II inhibitors, +/- radiotherapy. |
