Abstract

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by the translocation t(9;22)(q34;q11) [Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome). Although not frequently occurring, additional chromosome abnormalities (ACAs) can be detected at diagnosis and a number have been associated with an adverse cytogenetic and molecular outcome. The present study reports a case of CML presenting with the translocation t(1;11)(q21;q23) and a cryptic Ph chromosome. The presence of ACAs could generate greater genetic instability, promoting the emergence of further alterations. The present findings suggest that t(1;11)(q21;q23) can prevent a good response to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy developing a primary resistance. In the present patient, at a recent follow‑up, the T315I mutation was detected. This mutation confers full resistance to all available TKI, except ponatinib, which was not a therapeutic option due to comorbidities.
