Severe aplastic anemia preceding acute monocytic leukemia in an adult with acquired trisomy 21: A case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
The current case report presents a patient with acute monocytic leukemia (AML-M5) occurring 14 years following the successful treatment of severe aplastic anemia (SAA) with immunosuppressants and androgens. The patient was treated with induction chemotherapy, but did not achieve remission. The patient succumbed to central nervous system bleeding 2 weeks following the first cycle of chemotherapy. Chromosomal examination revealed 47,XX,+21[10]/46,XX[1]. To the best of our knowledge the present case is the first to be reported of SAA 14 years preceding AML-M5 with acquired trisomy 21.

Cytogenetic abnormalities in patients with severe aplastic anemia.
BACKGROUND Cytogenetic abnormalities have been described in a few patients with otherwise typical severe aplastic anemia (SAA), and the possible clonal nature of this disease is a controversial issue. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-nine patients with acquired severe aplastic anemia underwent cytogenetic examination on bone marrow cells at the time of diagnosis (n = 34) and/or at least twice afte...
متن کاملAcquired aplastic anemia associated with trisomy eight converting into acute myeloid leukemia
Aplastic anemia (AA) is nowadays considered to be a clonal disorder arising from a defective hematopoietic stem cell developing after a generalized insult to bone marrow. Immunosuppressive treatment (IST) of AA causes suppression of the target dominant population of haematopoietic cells allowing the defective non targeted clones to expand. This may give rise to acute leukemia. Cytogenetic studi...
متن کاملAcquired hemoglobin H disease in a patient with aplastic anemia evolving into acute myeloid leukemia.
CONTEXT The prognosis of severe aplastic anemia has improved since the introduction of bone marrow transplantation and treatment with antithymocyte globulin. In contrast to the success of these protocols, studies with long term follow-up have shown the occurrence of clonal diseases such as paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, myelodysplastic syndrome and acute leukemia in aplastic anemia. CAS...
متن کاملTrisomy Chromosome 6 as a Sole Cytogenetic Abnormality in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Identification of cytogenetic abnormalities plays an important role in the diagnosis and prognosis of leukemias. Isolated trisomy 6 is a rare abnormality, the prognostic significance of which is not well established. We report one case of acute myeloid leukemia (AML-M5 variant) with trisomy 6 as the sole cytogenetic abnormality. Previously, trisomy 6 has been reported in aplastic anemia, myelod...
متن کاملFalse Negativity of Tc-99m Labeled Sodium Phytate Bone Marrow Imaging Under the Effect of G-CSF Prescription in Aplastic Anemia: A Case Report
Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a hematopoietic cytokine which controls the differentiation and growth of hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow. We report a severe aplastic anemia (SAA) patient with false-negative 99mTc sodium phytate bone marrow imaging findings under concurrent G-CSF therapy. The first bone marrow imaging showed a normal bone marrow activity. However, the bo...
