Therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome: a case study.

چکیده
We present a case of therapy-related myelodyspastic syndrome in which the t(3;8)(q26;q24) translocation appeared, even though no chromosomal abnormalities were found at the initial diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia. To the best of our knowledge, there have only been around 20 reported cases of myeloid malignancies involving t(3;8)(q26;q24). We discuss the characteristics of t(3;8)(q26;q24) along with a review of literature.

Although aplastic anemia (AA) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) are separate entities with different management, distinction between the two can be difficult on morphological basis due to hypocellularity of bone marrow. MDS is one of the serious complications of AA. Karyotyping is definitive in the diagnosis of MDS. Better and robust investigations like 18F-Fluoro-deoxy-Glucose Posi...

Therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) with t(8;21) and therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome (t-MDS) with trisomy 1q due to der(1;7) developed in the same patient with T-cell lymphoma at intervals of six years. After the development of t-MDS with trisomy 1q, during complete remission of t-AML, the number of megakaryoblasts increased to maximally 74% of leukocytes in the blood. This ...

Therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia is a rare event and the prognosis is poor. Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation is recently being reported as an effective treatment. We present a young patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia who developed myelodysplastic syndrome 52 months after complete remission. She underwent allogeneic peripheral bl...

Background: Myelodysplastic syndrome is a mixed clonal disorder of bone marrow progenitor cells. Understanding the pattern of the different lineage-specific, immature, and mature markers in myelodysplastic syndrome will help in setting-up the frame of reference to diagnose. Patients and Methods: We compared 60 bone marrow samples from 30 newly-diagnosed patients with myelodysplastic syndrome ...

Patients with transfusion-dependent myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) have an increased risk of cardiac events, due to both chronic anemia and iron overload. Here, we report the recovery of cardiac function after an intensive iron chelation therapy in a MDS patient who had developed heart failure due to iron overload.
