Extramedullary Gastric Relapse at the Time of Bone Marrow Relapse of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia after Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extramedullary relapse (EMR) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is relatively rare. The most commonly reported sites in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients after allo-HSCT are soft tissue and the central nervous system, and the gastrointestinal system is an uncommon site. We herein report a unique case with massive hematemesis resulting from gastrointestinal relapse of ALL after allo-HSCT. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed bleeding from a 1.5-cm submucosal tumorous lesion with central ulceration on the anterior wall of the stomach. At the same time, computed tomography revealed extramedullary relapse at the breast and bilateral adrenal glands.

©F rr ta St ort i F o nd ati o phylaxis. Extramedullary relapse was biopsy-confirmed in all but one patient, who had obvious progression of proven chloromas that were still present at the time of HSCT. Twenty-four of 26 patients (92%) who had extramedullary disease noted at the time of post-HSCT relapse had bone marrow biopsies confirming the presence (n=2) or absence (n=22) of bone marrow recu...

We report the case of a 37-year-old woman who had a relapse of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) during treatment for chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. She was originally suspected of having autoimmune pancreatitis. Relapse of AML often occurs at extramedullary sites. Whereas the pancreas is rare as an organ of AML relapse, physicians should be a...
