PG - 291-7 AB - We report a case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of unknown origin with invasion into bone marrow and brain. This case showed complex chromosomal abnormalities, including five clonal marker chromosomes (mar) and four additional materials of unknown origin (add) that could not be identified by means of conventional G-banding. Spectral karyotyping (SKY) analysis could not only determine the origin and organization of all thus far unidentified structural chromosomal abnormalities but also detect two cryptic unbalanced translocations, which had been erroneously considered to be normal on the basis of G-banding analysis, and correct one abnormality misidentified by G banding. Among these abnormalities, we identified the new partner site of the 14q32 translocation, 22q13, and the jumping translocations involving 2p23 as a new donor chromosome. Furthermore, by using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with the probes specific for the 14q telomere, we could identify the unbalanced translocation of t(3;14)(q27;q32), which had been erroneously considered to be normal chromosome 3 on the basis of not only G-banding but also of SKY analysis. This translocation is one of the most frequent chromosomal abnormalities in B-cell lymphoma, especially diffuse large cell lymphoma. After SKY and FISH analysis, the original descriptions in the G-band karyotype were modified for a total of 13 chromosomes. The combination of SKY and FISH using the 14q telomere probe was therefore considered very useful for the characterization of complex cytogenetic cases in B-cell lymphoma.
