Rare coincidence of hypertriploid chromosome number and aberrant coexpression of the lymphoid-associated antigen CD5 in acute myeloid Leukaemia FAB M0

Leukemia volume 17, pages 1188–1189 (2003)Cite this article

TO THE EDITOR

We describe the rare coincidence of hypertriploid chromosome number and aberrant coexpression of the lymphoid marker CD5 in a patient with AML FAB M0. The patient was successfully treated with an allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) from a sibling donor.
