We describe a patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) and the karyotype 46,XX,i(17)(q10) with PML-RARA fusion gene detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and nested reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). FISH using dual-color translocation probes for PML (promyelocytic leukemia) and RARA (retinoic acid receptor-alpha) showed fusion signal for PML-RARA on both arms of i(17q). The patient attained complete remission (CR) with all-trans retinoic acid treatment and became PML-RARA negative. One year later, while PML-RARA negative on FISH and RT-PCR, the patient presented with thrombocytopenia. Bone marrow examination suggested an acute monoblastic leukemia (AML-M5a) including the karyotype 46,XX,t(8;16) (p11.2;p13.3),inv(11)(p15q22 approximately q23)[11]/47,idem,+i(8)(q10)[9]. She is currently in CR. The occurrence of therapy related acute leukemia after successful therapy for APL is an emerging problem.
我们描述了一名急性早幼粒细胞白血病(APL)患者,其核型为46,XX,i(17)(q10),通过荧光原位杂交(FISH)和巢式逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测到PML-RARA融合基因。使用针对PML(早幼粒细胞白血病)和RARA(维甲酸受体α)的双色易位探针进行FISH检测,结果显示在i(17q)的两条臂上均出现了PML-RARA融合信号。该患者接受全反式维甲酸治疗后达到完全缓解(CR),且PML-RARA转为阴性。一年后,虽然FISH和RT-PCR检测显示PML-RARA为阴性,但患者出现了血小板减少症。骨髓检查提示为急性单核细胞白血病(AML-M5a),核型包括46,XX,t(8;16)(p11.2;p13.3),inv(11)(p15q22约q23)[11]/47,idem,+i(8)(q10)[9]。她目前处于完全缓解状态。APL成功治疗后发生治疗相关急性白血病是一个新出现的问题。
