Abstract

We describe t(8;16)(p11;p13) acute myeloid leukaemia (AML-M4) in a 12-year-old white male with a history of prenatal X-ray exposure. He had skin and bone involvement and some of the leukaemic blasts showed haemophagocytosis; characteristic features seen in t(8;16) AML. 20% of the reported cases of t(8;16)(p11;p13) AML are therapy related and this case further supports the possible role of the ionizing radiation in the development of this disorder.
