| Abstract: | We report on a 29-year-old female followed for relapsed Hodgkin's disease. She had been diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease at 20 years of age and had been treated with chemotherapy. She had been in remission for six years when she relapsed, at which time she received chemotherapy for bone marrow transplant (BMT). After failure of BMT, she received additional chemotherapies with growth factors and radiation treatment. A bone marrow biopsy showed moderate hypercellularity with erythroid hyperplasia, but the karyotype had an abnormal clone containing an isochromosome derived from a 7q22 deletion. |
