Translocation (8;21) acute myeloid leukemia presenting as severe aplastic anemia
We report a case of t(8;21) acute myeloid leukemia presenting as severe aplastic anemia. While initial bone marrow biopsy lacked any cytogenetic abnormalities in 20 analyzed metaphases, repeat bone marrow biopsy eight days later demonstrated this translocation. Initial cytogenetic analysis of 20 metaphases was therefore insufficient to make the diagnosis of hypocellular acute myeloid leukemia. ...

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common malignancy in pediatric patients; its diagnosis is usually easy to establish as malignant lymphoblasts invade the bone marrow and peripheral blood. Some acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients may initially present with pancytopenia and a hypoplastic bone marrow leading to the initial diagnosis of aplastic anemia. In most of these patients clinical ...
متن کاملSevere permanent encephalopathy in acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
As survival rates for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia have increased, concerns over improved quality-of-life have also increased. Although 3-10% of children may experience acute transient neurotoxicity during induction chemotherapy, they are felt to be at low risk for late sequelae. We report three previously healthy boys with newly-diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia who presented wi...
متن کاملSequential induction of aplastic anemia and acute leukemia by chloramphenicol.
Chloramphenicol is a widely used antibiotic. It is also well known to cause some potentially lethal complications such as aplastic anemia, acute leukemia and paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria Al though development of aplastic anemia is relatively more frequent, evidence in favour of acute leukemia caused by chloramphenicol is mostly circumstantial. Very rarely, aplastic anemia caused by chlo...
