  • Title: [Transformation of myelofibrosis into acute myelogenous leukemia (M0) with multiple tumor emboli].
    Author: Ishizuka Y, Yokota A, Shiga T, Sato J, Oh H, Saitoh Y.
    Journal: Rinsho Ketsueki; 1998 Aug; 39(8):617-20. PubMed ID: 9785983.
    Abstract:
    A 60-year-old woman was admitted in August 1995 complaining of abdominal pain. A diagnosis of essential thrombocythemia had been made in 1987, and myelofibrosis developed in the patient thereafter. Physical examination revealed massive hepatosplenomegaly, and the peripheral blood showed leukoerythroblastosis with chromosomal abnormalities in peripheral blood cells. In May, 1996, blastic transformation occurred. Based on the findings of surface marker analysis, the blasts met the diagnostic criteria for acete myelogenous leukemia because they were negative for peroxidase and positive for CD13. In June, the patient died of multiple organ failure. Postmortem examination revealed multiple tumor emboli.
