Question on an unusual phenotype of ALL

I'm looking to see if anyone is familiar with either the frequency of a
T-cell marker CD 5 on a B-cell ALL or the significance of the
cytogenetics result of a translocated 3,22 in this unusual case. The
patient has no nodal involvement- no lymphoma, but the blood and marrow
are full of young-looking blasts that mark with very mature Bcell
markers-negative for  CD 10, CD43, TDT and 34,  and positive for CD
19,20,21,22,23,24,FMC-7, LAMBDA monoclonal, and CD 5. Is this CD 5
positive  an unusual occurance that is worthy of publishing or further
study?
