Calla-positive acute leukaemia with t(5q;14q) translocation and hypereosinophilia--a unique entity?

abstract：:Amylase-producing tumors are mainly adenocarcinomas and, in rare instances, multiple myelomas. We describe here a first case of amylase-producing Bence Jones type myeloma with pancreatitis-like symptoms and the second in a Caucasian patient. The finding of salivary-type hyperamylasemia in a 72-year-old female with a p...
