Abstract excerpt
Histiocytic sarcoma (HS) is a rare malignancy of tissue histiocytes with a dismal prognosis. We report a 4-year-old male who developed HS during maintenance chemotherapy for precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (pre-B ALL). Both tumors showed identical clonal immunoglobulin and T-cell receptor gene re-arrangement patterns, as well as homozygous deletion of the CDKN2A gene encoding p16(INK4A). These data...
