Disease

NHL

Phenotype stem cell origin

follicular centrocytic-centroblastic lymphoma.

Epidemiology

only four cases available to date; all four patients werefemale; median age: 57 yr.

Cytogenetics

Cytogenetics morphological

in all 4 cases, t(14;18)(q32;q21) was present; t(3;4)(q27;p13) maytherefore be a secondary event.

Additional anomalies

deletion of 6q was also found in all 4 cases, eitheras a del(6q) or as a iso(6p); karyotypes were complex.
