✦ Synopsis
We report the prenatal findings of mos 46,XY/46,XY,i(20q) after amniocentesis. The propositus presented with two epidermal scalp scars, retrobulbar orbital cysts, and dyssegmentation of the thoracic spine. The abnormal cell line was discovered in cells cultured from the proximal umbilical cord and-by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)-in interphase nuclei from buccal epithelium and urinary sediment but not from the placenta, lymphocytes, or skin fibroblasts.

We encountered a 67-year-old female with chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL). Cytogenetic study showed she had a deletion in the long arm of chromosome 20. This finding indicates that CNL, in this case, is a clonal disorder. Most CNL patients have normal karyotypes, and only four patients with cytog
