Myeloid sarcoma of female breast is a rare presentation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The tumor mass may precede or occur concurrently with AML, CML, myeloproliferative disorders, and/or myelodysplastic syndromes. Histologically, it looks like a large cell lymphoma and can be misdiagnosed. A case refe...

chemotherapeutic agents used in patients with cancer cause to generate the enormous amounts of free radicals associated with cell injury. in this study we assess the effects of chemotherapy regimen on oxidant/antioxidant status in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (aml). 38 newly diagnosed patients with acute myeloid leukemia were recruited in this study. all patients received cytarabine and...

background: acute myeloid leukemia, as most cancers, results from exposure to carcinogens and an impaired inherited individual capacity to eliminate xenobiotics. the present case-control study measures the relationship between glutathione s-transferase (gst) t1 and m1 null genotypes and the risk of acute myeloid leukemia. methods: we identified the gstt1 andgstm1 genotypes by multiplex polymera...

Myeloid sarcoma is a rare extramedullary tumor of immature myeloid cells. It has been very rarely reported as lateral cervical mass in English literature. Myeloid sarcoma has also been reported with marked eosinophilia. Here we present a 17 year old boy with lateral cervical mass and persistent eosinophilia. The mass was isointense in MRI and homogenously enhanced after contrast injection which...

background: acute myeloid leukemia (aml) with translocation (3,3) is a form of aml that may present de novo or may arise from a previous myelodysplastic syndrome. it is often associated with normal or elevated peripheral blood platelet count and increased bone marrow megakaryocytes with associated multi lineage dysplasia. a subset of patients present with hepatosplenomegaly while a few cases ha...

Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 , 2 (HTLV-1, 2) is endemic in Particular Areas of the world in which it is associated with myeloid leukemia.In this study, we described the prevalence of HTLV-1, 2 in myeloid leukemia and Mycobacterium Tuberculosis in Iran. We have worked with tissue and blood samples for 2 years. These were the same samples which were positive for myeloid leukemia, Mycoba...

myeloproliferative neoplasms (mpns) such as polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, primary myelofibrosis and chronic myeloid leukemia have too similar and accurate way to differentiate their is study of genetic disorders in these patients. philadelphia chromosome is a sure way to definitively diagnose cml. recently, jak2v617f mutation introduced as a diagnostic marker for other myeloprol...
