Abstract

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is typified by t(15;17)(q22;q21), generating the promyelocytic leukemia (PML) gene at 15q22 with the retinoic acid α‑receptor (RARA) gene at 17q21. The PML‑RARA fusion gene is believed to play a vital role in leukemogenesis. A sizeable minority of patients with complex variants of APL have been reported. The present study reports the case of a 33‑year‑old male with APL carrying a potential complex translocation. The initial symptom was bleeding gums. Chromosomal analysis of the bone marrow cells revealed an atypical 17q aberration. Fluorescence in situ hybridization further indicated that 92% of analyzed cells were positive for the PML‑RARA fusion gene. The patient experienced complete remission following treatment with arsenic trioxide and chemotherapy. The atypical translocations in acute promyelocytic leukemia require further investigation.
