Original articleTranslocation t(10;17)(p13;q12) in two cases of acute nonlymphocytic leukemia with phagocytic activity of blasts: A new cytogenetic entity?

We report two cases of translocation t(10;17)(p13;q12) found in a series of 278 cytogenetically studied acute nonlymphocytic leukemia cases. Blast cells, in both cases, were undifferentiated and had phagocytic properties. These patients might represent cases of a new cytogenetic entity.
