Abstract

The current case report presents a patient with acute monocytic leukemia (AML‑M5) occurring 14 years following the successful treatment of severe aplastic anemia (SAA) with immunosuppressants and androgens. The patient was treated with induction chemotherapy, but did not achieve remission. The patient succumbed to central nervous system bleeding 2 weeks following the first cycle of chemotherapy. Chromosomal examination revealed 47,XX,+21[10]/46,XX[1]. To the best of our knowledge the present case is the first to be reported of SAA 14 years preceding AML‑M5 with acquired trisomy 21.
