Popis: A patient with extramedullary crisis from CML after allogeneic BMT is reported. A pathological neck lymph node observed after transplantation revealed pre-T lymphoblastic phenotype, and the FISH analysis showed recipient type sex chromosomes and bcr/abl fusion gene. The cells represented an additional translocation, t(6;8) (q25;q22). No rearrangements of the TCR β, γ or δ chain genes were observed. The absence of TCR rearrangement indicated the clonogenic involvement of pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells by Ph chromosome. Bone marrow specimens at that time showed donor type sex chromosomes and no bcr/abl-positive cells by FISH.
