In this paper we report on a case of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) with a Philadelphia variant involving chromosome 5 as a second change of the standard Philadelphia chromosome (Ph). Molecular analysis found a fusion gene BCR-ABL with participation of exons b3 and a2, respectively (b3a2). The molecular variant of the fusion gene BCR/ ABL or the rare involvement of chromosome 5 could possibly explain the mild course of the disease.
