Transient acute monoblastic leukemia with reciprocal (8;16)(p11;p13) translocation.

The translocation of t(8;16)(p11;p13) has been demonstrated in the blasts of a phenotypically normal newborn baby with acute monoblastic leukemia. No antileukemic therapy was administered and spontaneous, complete remission was observed at 2 months of age. The patient remains well 18 months after the diagnosis and continues to have a normal hemogram.

[Late recurrence of Wilms' tumor].

We present a patient with a Wilms' Tumor recurring after 7 years from the primitive surgical excision. After the relapse, surgery and conventional chemotherapy (with Actinomycin-D, Cyclophosphamide and Vincristine) permitted to achieve a second complete remission. Now the patient is alive without evidence of disease after 4 years from the relapse. The non-complete surgical excision of the tumor and the particular biological activity of the residual cells could explain the late relapse.
