Abstract: We describe a case of Burkitt-type acute lymphoblastic leukemia (L3 according to the classification FAB) with a variant t(2;8)(p12;q24) and additional chromosomal abnormalities at diagnosis. The karyotype was 47,X,Xq+,t(2;8)(p12;q24),7q+,12p+,+mar. The literature on chromosome rearrangements associated with t(2;8) in L3 leukemias has been reviewed.
