  • Fig. 1 Cytomorphology of bone marrow and G-banded karyotype result. (A) Bone marrow aspirate smear showed that the atypical cells were large with irregular nuclear contours and cytoplasmic vacuolations. (B) G-banding revealed complex structural and numerical abnormalities; 47~51,Y,−X,−1,t(1;21)(q25;q22),inv(3)(q21q26.2),del(4)(p13),der(4)t(1;4)(q25;q34),del(6)(q13q23),del(8)(p12),+10,der(11)t(1;11)(p22;q21),+12,−13,t(14;18)(q21;q22),−15,add(18)(q22),add(20)(q12),+mar1~3[cp16]/46,XY[4].
