We describe two patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) associated with erythrophagocytosis and a pericentric inversion of chromosome 8, inv(8)(p11q13). The haematological features were indistinguishable from those of patients with the t(8;16) syndrome and its variants. Our observations emphasize the importance of the breakpoint at 8p11 and the possible involvement of the MOZ gene in all these cases.
