Popis: The relationship between constitutional chromosome aberrations and a predisposition to malignancy has already been established.A 4 year-old boy was admitted suffering from abdominal mass. Biopsies of the tumor and bone marrow showed a stage IV Burkitt's lymphoma. Karyotype showed a constitutional t(1;6)(p36;q22) in initial bone marrow samples and peripheral lymphocytes. No classic Burkitt's type translocation was demonstrated in the malignant bone marrow cells.Our case is similar to four other reported cases. The break-points 1p36 and 6q22 seem to be involved in several malignant tumors, especially lymphomas.
