Spontaneous Remission in an Older Patient with Relapsed FLT3 ITD Mutant AML

Spontaneous remission (SR) of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a very rare phenomenon. AML characterized by FLT3 internal tandem duplication (FLT3 ITD) is typically associated with an aggressive clinical course with rapid progression, relapse, and short overall survival in the absence of transplantation. We report here the first case of SR of FLT3 ITD mutant AML in the literature. Our patient wa...

The majority of cases are acute myeloblastic leukemia with trisomy. Clinical manifestations are usually leukocytosis, petechia, ecchymosis, cutaneous nodules, hepatosplenomegaly and central nervous system symptoms. 23-days old girl was presented with complaints o...

Spontaneous remission in three cases of AML M5 with NPM1 mutation

Patients with NPM1-mutated AML M5 who develop spontaneous remission (SR) after antibiotic therapy at diagnosis seem to form a favorable prognosis and chemo sensitive subtype. We report three cases of AML M5 patients with the same genotype that experienced transient SR and are now leukemia free after standard treatment.

A case of nephrotic syndrome with rapid spontaneous remission in an elderly patient.

In July 1994, a 70-year-old woman was diagnosed as having nephrotic syndrome with proteinuria of 8 to 10 g/day and a serum albumin level of 1.8 g/dl. She was hospitalized in August 1994 for investigation. The urinary findings then normalized, with urinary protein and occult blood both negative and total urinary protein excretion at 0 g/day. A renal biopsy was performed, and spontaneous remissio...
