Abstract
An unusual cytogenetic translocation, t(8;13) (p11;q12), is described in a patient presenting with a CML-like myeloproliferative disorder associated with a high-grade T-cell lymphoma. Evidence is presented suggesting that the breakpoint region in the translocation involves a site implicated in both the T cell malignancy and the abnormal granulocyte proliferation.
