Aplastic anemia (AA) is a hematological disorder presenting with pancytopenia in peripheral blood and hypocellularity in bone marrow. AA patients with immunosuppressive therapy and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor treatment have a risk of development of acute leukemia including acute myeloid leukemia (M0, M1, M2, M4, M5, M6) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. However, AA with transformation to acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) has never been reported. Here, we reported a patient initially diagnosed with AA. while 19 years later, PML/RAR αfusion gene were detected and the patient was eventually diagnosed as APL. The diagnosis and management of this interesting case are discussed.
再生障碍性贫血(AA)是一种血液系统疾病,表现为外周血全血细胞减少和骨髓细胞减少。接受免疫抑制治疗和粒细胞集落刺激因子治疗的AA患者有发生急性白血病的风险,包括急性髓系白血病(M0、M1、M2、M4、M5、M6)和急性淋巴细胞白血病。然而,从未有过AA转化为急性早幼粒细胞白血病(APL)的报道。在此,我们报告了一名最初诊断为AA的患者,19年后检测到PML/RARα融合基因,最终该患者被诊断为APL。本文讨论了这一有趣病例的诊断和处理。
