Childhood myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is an uncommon condition. Unlike adult MDS, pediatric patients have a more progressive course and rapidly transform to acute myeloid leukemia. Evolution to acute lymphoblastic leukemia is extremely rare. We report a 5 year old female child who presented with refractory anemia with excess blasts and transformed into acute lymphoblastic leukemia 4 months after initial diagnosis.
儿童骨髓增生异常综合征(MDS)是一种罕见的病症。与成人MDS不同,儿科患者的病程更具进展性,且会迅速转化为急性髓系白血病。转化为急性淋巴细胞白血病极为罕见。我们报告了一名5岁女童,她最初表现为伴有过多原始细胞的难治性贫血,并在初次诊断4个月后转化为急性淋巴细胞白血病。
