Tóm tắt

Presence of additional copies of Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) is characteristic of chronic myeloid leukemia in blast crisis, very rarely observed in de novo acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Ph positive (Ph+ve) ALL and CML in lymphoid blast crisis (CML-LBC) are biologically different with divergent clinical course. Double Ph+ve ALL has little data available as to its incidence and prognostic significance. We studied five cases of Ph+ve precursor B-cell ALL having an extra copy of Ph chromosome with regard to their clinical and laboratory features. An extensive review of literature was done on prognostic significance and molecular aspects of double Ph in ALL. The study confirms that double Ph was a rare phenomenon in precursor B-cell ALL. It is observed that molecular basis of double Ph positive ALL is less understood compared to CML in blast crisis. The study highlights fundamental role of cytogenetic and molecular studies in diagnosis and management of these patients. Long-term follow-up studies on a larger group of patients are required to understand the prognostic impact of extra Ph in Ph+ve ALL, which is usually resistant to standard chemotherapeutic regimen and often requiring bone marrow transplantation.
