Abstract :
The present study examined an 11-year-old girl with Down syndrome who suffered from acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) preceded by preleukemic pancytopenia. Chromosomal analysis of leukemic cells revealed a chromosome change at t(8;21) and trisomy 8 associated with constitutional trisomy 21. Treatment with antineoplastic agents led to complete remission.
