An indolent B-cell lymphoma with t(2;8)(p12;q24) abnormality and absence of C-MYC amplification and TP53 deletion. A new variant?

The translocation between chromosomes 2 and 8, t(2;8), is well known for its strong association with high-grade Burkitt lymphoma. However, the significance of this translocation in indolent lymphoproliferative disorders is not clear. We present the case of a 75-year-old white male with left upper quadrant abdominal pain, splenomegaly, and an elevated white cell count of 30.
