Unexpected favorable outcome in a patient with high grade B-cell lymphoma with abnormalities of MYC, BCL6 and BCL2 loci.

High grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBCL) by WHO 2016 classification requires rearrangements of MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6, practically covering the so called "double-hit" or "triple hit" lymphomas. We report a case of HGBCL "triple-hit" lymphoma in a 64-year old female. Cytogenetic and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies revealed complex karyotype including rearrangement of MYC to a novel, non-IG partner on chromosome 18, and rearrangement of BCL2, BCL6 and IGH as well as ins(3)(q21q27.
