| Comments |
| The patient was diagnosed as MDS-RAEB1 in 2008. In the same year he underwent a bone marrow transplantation. One year after (2009) he relapsed as sAML. He was submitted to a second HSCT. He was in remission until 2011, when the disease relapsed as AML. In 2012 a third remission was achieved. In 2013 he relapsed as AML M2 after the last therapy. At this point he presented this complex karyotype: 46,XY,t(1;3)(p36.2;p21),t(4;5)(q31;q35),t(5;16)(q13;p13.3),del(7)(p15),t(13;22)(q13;q13). Data reported in literature suggest that 3p21 is a recurrent treatment-related breakpoint in MDS and AML (Shi et al., 1996). The t(1;3)(p36;p21) is a recurring chromosomal translocation and it was described after treatment with alkylating agent in several cases (Sato et al., 2002). Our patient was also treated with alkylating agents (cyclophosphamide and Busulfan) during conditioning regimen for the first bone marrow transplantation. For the second one, it was used cyclophosphamide and TBI (total body irradiation). Sato et al., 2002 and other reports have described a high frequency of abnormalities of chromosomes 5 and 7 (Smith et al., 2003) as part of a complex karyotype in patients with t(1;3). In our report, we could observe both chromosome 5 involved in different aberrations. It was not possible to prove all the aberrations with FISH (not available in our service) and also we couldn't find t(13;22) in other reports. |
