A total of 12 children with Ph'-chromosome in their karyotype were under observation. On the basis of anamnestic data and comprehensive clinicohematological investigations chronic myeloleukemia with lymphoid blast crisis was diagnosed in 6 children. Acute Ph'-positive lymphoblastic leukemia was diagnosed in the rest 6 children. The authors have considered the differences between the two types of tumor processes in children and possibilities of their therapy.
