We report on 6 patients with tetraploidy or near-tetraploidy acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with double t(8;21) (q22;q22) and review the literature on cases with the same cytogenetic abnormalities. Some common features were revealed by this analysis.

Diffuse glioneuronal tumor with oligodendroglioma-like features and nuclear clusters (DGONC) is a rare brain tumor of the central nervous system (CNS). Although only a few cases of DGONC have been reported following the initial description of the tumor, they have a distinct DNA methylation pattern and share a recurrent chromosomal finding of monosomy 14. We encountered a seven-year-old boy who presented with seizures and was found to have a left frontal and suprasellar mass.

Article Synopsis
- Near-tetraploidy/tetraploidy (NT/T) is a genetic change found in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which affects prognosis and is more prevalent in older males with specific blood abnormalities.
- A study revealed that 77.8% of NT/T AML cases showed dysgranulopoiesis, and most patients had multiple genetic abnormalities, with a significant portion exhibiting NT/T as the only abnormality.
- Among those treated for NT/T AML, 80% reached complete remission, but the overall survival rate was low, with a median of just 4.5 months.

Objectives: This study aims to identify factors possibly contributing to complications in children with acute leukaemia. Despite diverse etiological causes, similar processes trigger the process of cell malignancy. Genomic instability has received considerable attention in this context.

Background: Near-tetraploidy-defined by DNA index 1.79-2.28 or 81-103 chromosomes-is a rare cytogenetic abnormality observed both in children and adults with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL) and its prognostic value is not yet determined.

FxCycle Violet (FCV) based flow cytometric (FCM) DNA ploidy analysis is a rapid and simple tool that can substantiate in characterizing the biological behaviour across the spectrum of haematological malignancies and correlates with cytogenetic studies. In this prospective study, we performed simultaneous immunophenotyping with FCV based on ploidy analysis in n=132 consecutive new samples, comprising n=110 samples of haemato-lymphoid neoplasms, including acute leukemias (n=67, 60.9%), CML with myeloid blast crisis (n=1, 0.
