Abstract
We report on two cases, one with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and a se cond with lymphatic blastic phase of Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia, cytogenetically characterized by ider(9) (q10)t(9;22)(q34;q11). Our findings and the data of the 4 cases previo usly published indicate that ider(9)(q10)t(9;22)(q34;q11) represents a rare but recurrent chromosomal abnormality occurring in hematological malignancies with lymph old differentiation, namely acute lymphoblast ic leukemia and lymphatic blastic phase of chronic myelogenous leukemi a, and most likely evolves from a preexistent der(9) involved in the s tandard t(9;22).
