myelodysplastic syndrome associated with eosinophilia showed a complex
translocation with a 46,XY,t(2;18;2)(p23;q11;q32) karyotype The patient
has refractory anemia (RA) according to the French-American-British
Cooperative Group (FAB) classification, and after 90 months of follow-up
he shows no evidence of leukemic transformation. This chromosomal
abnormality has not been previously described in myelodysplastic
syndromes and may be associated with good prognosis as the patient has
been stable for a long time. (C) Elsevier Science Inc., 1997."
