The chromosomal abnormality t(14;18)(q32;q21) is most commonly associated with germinal center-derived B-cell lymphomas, particularly follicular lymphoma (FL). Generally, it is considered a hallmark of FL. The t(14;18)(q32;q21) translocation is rare in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and its prognostic significance remains unclear. In the present study, two cases of CLL with t(14;18)(q32;q21) were diagnosed using conventional cytogenetic analysis and fluorescence in situ hybridization. Both patients presented with leukemia and the morphological features and immunophenotypes were typical of CLL. Case 2 underwent a further lymph node biopsy, which established a diagnosis of CD5 - CLL/small lymphocyte lymphoma. In addition to t(14;18)(q32;q21), trisomy 12 was identified in the same clone in Case 2. Both cases exhibited immunoglobulin heavy chain variable mutations, and heavy-chain variable region gene (VH) 4-39 and VH3-62 were used in Case 1 and Case 2, respectively. In addition, direct Sanger sequencing of exons 4-9 revealed that Case 2 harbored the tumor protein p53 mutation, c.829T&gt;G. Both cases had indications for therapy. Case 1 responded well to chlorambucil treatment, and was still alive at the last follow-up. Conversely, Case 2 exhibited aggressive disease that appeared refractory to treatment, and eventually succumbed to the disease.
