Cytogenetic evidence for extramedullary blast crisis with t(8;13)(q11;p11) in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.

abstract：:Downregulation of apoptosis has been proposed as a mechanism of clonal expansion in low-grade B cell neoplasms. We have previously described an unusual case of CD5+ B cell lymphoma characterized by cycles of leukemic phase alternating with spontaneous remission. In the present study, we examined the involvement of apo...
