✦ Synopsis

We describe four cases of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia with monosomy 20 as the sole cytogenetic abnormality. These cases represent 3.4% of cytogenetically abnormal childhood ALL studied in our institute at diagnosis. The patients presented at similar age, ranging from 3 I t o 36 months. All four patients remain in first remission with survival time being at least 20 months from the time of diagnosis.

To determine the incidence of thrombocytosis at presentation in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), medical records of all children diagnosed at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh from 1980 to 1987 were reviewed. Out of 217 such patients, 7 (3.2%) had platelet counts greater than 400,000/mm3. All

## Background. In childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the relationship between lymphoblast L1/L2 morphology and prognosis is controversial. According to some studies L2 morphology is associated with poor prognosis, whereas in others the association disappears after adjustment for other k
