Atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (aCML),
BCR-ABL1
negative is a rare myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm for which no current standard of care exists. The blood smear of patients with aCML showed prominent immature granulocytosis, and granulocytic dysplasia. We admitted a 58-year-old man with splenomegaly, hyperleukocytosis, anemia, and thrombocytopenia; then cytology, cytogenetic and molecular biology analysis of bone morrow were performed and the diagnosis of aCML was made according to 2016 World Health Organization diagnostic criteria. The patient was initially treated by chemotherapy; the patient achieved an aggravation of anemia. This motivated the change of treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
