It shows a remarkable heterogeneity, with some patients having an almost normal lifespan, others surviving only several years after diagnosis despite intensive thera
Deletions and translocations of 13q14 are the most frequent structural chromosome abnormalities found in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). We have identified 13q14 translocations in the blood of 30 of 450 (6.6%) CLL patients by conventional cytogenetics, using tetradecanoyl phorbol 12-myristate 1
Cutaneous presentation of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL) is uncommon, and the influence of skin changes on B-CLL prognosis is unclear. We report a patient with B-CLL Rai II, with multiple nodular skin infiltrations on the trunk, upper arms and thighs as well as constitutional symptoms,
