Abstract
Acute promyelocytic leukemia is a distinct subset of acute myeloid leukemia with characteristic clinical, morphological and genetic features. The gene product PML-RAR alpha resulting from reciprocal t(15;17) translocation, plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of acute promyelocytic leukemia and classified as favorable cytogenetic features. We are describing an unusual additional chromosomal abnormality t(2;3) in APL patient.
