| Abstract: | An 8;21 translocation with duplication of the der(21) is described in a 72-year-old man who presented with features of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Progression to acute myelomonocytic leukemia occurred within one month of diagnosis. The possible prognostic significance of the t(8;21) with duplicated der(21) in myelodysplasia is discussed. |
