Unusual Presentation of -Associated Concomitant Hematological Neoplasm in a Child-Diagnostic and Treatment Struggle.

Simultaneous multilineage hematologic malignancies are uncommon and associated with poorer prognosis than single-lineage leukemia or lymphoma. Here, we describe a concomitant malignant neoplasm in a 4-year-old boy. The child presented with massive lymphoproliferative syndrome, nasal breathing difficulties, and snoring. Morphological, immunocytochemical, and flow cytometry diagnostics showed coexistence of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). Molecular examination revealed a rare t(9;9)(q34;q34)/ translocation as well as common TCR clonal rearrangements in both the bone marrow and lymph nodes. The disease showed primary refractoriness to both lymphoid and myeloid high-dose chemotherapy as well as combined targeted therapy (trametinib + ruxolitinib). Hence, HSCT was performed, and the patient has since been in complete remission for over a year. This observation highlights the importance of molecular techniques for determining the united nature of complex -positive malignant neoplasms arising from precursor cells with high lineage plasticity.
