Myxoid chondrosarcoma has a broad morphologic spectrum, recently reviewed by Meis-Kindblom et al. [3]. Although, EMC has b

We report three patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in remission who developed Hodgkin's disease. Al- though a
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. Al
