Pure erythroid leukemia with hemophagocytosis.

چکیده
A 53-year-old man was admitted with pancytopenia, fever and splenomegaly. Biochemistry showed increased ferritin levels. Bone marrow examination revealed increased erythrocytic precursors (94.9%) and active hemophagocytosis. Pure erythroid leukemia with hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) was diagnosed. Induction chemotherapy comprising idarubicin and cytarabine was administered and steroid pulse therapy was added. Complete remission was attained, and HPS also improved. However, leukemia relapsed during chemotherapy and the patient died. This is the first report of pure erythroid leukemia complicated with HPS.

The Diagnostic Challenge of Therapy-Related Pure Erythroid Leukemia Arising in the Setting of Multiple Myeloma
We report two interesting cases of patients with multiple myeloma, who developed a therapy-related myeloid neoplasm in the form of pure erythroid leukemia. In both cases, it was difficult to differentiate the erythroid blasts from plasma blasts by morphology alone. The diagnostic picture was further confounded by the presence of a hyperdiploid karyotype (case 1), which is a frequent cytogenetic...

Background. The World Health Organization separates acute erythroid leukemia (erythropoiesis in ≥50% of nucleated bone marrow cells; ≥20% myeloblasts of non-erythroid cells) from other entities with increased erythropoiesis–acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplasia-related changes (≥20% myeloblasts of all nucleated cells) or myelodysplastic syndromes, and subdivides acute erythroid leukemia in...

متن کاملPure Erythroid Leukemia: The Sole Acute Erythroid Leukemia
Pure Erythroid Leukemia (PEL) is an aggressive and exceedingly rare form of acute leukemia. In the 2008 WHO classifi cation PEL was one of the subtypes of acute erythroid leukemia the other subtype being erythroleukemia (erythroid/ myeloid). In the 2016 WHO classifi cation update, erythroleukemia was merged into myelodysplastic syndrome and PEL now is the only type of acute erythroid leukemia.1...
متن کاملHemophagocytic macrophages constitute a major compartment of heme oxygenase expression in sepsis
OBJECTIVES Uncontrolled macrophage activation with hemophagocytosis is a distinctive feature of hemophagocytic syndromes (HPS). We examined whether lympho-histiocytic infiltration of the bone marrow and liver, as well as hemo-/erythrophagocytosis also occurs during sepsis and whether this process could account for the increased production of anti-inflammatory heme-oxygenase (HO-1) products obse...
