Acute myeloid leukaemia of donor cell origin developing 17 years after allogenic hematopoietic cell transplantation for acute promyelocytic leukaemia. Int J Biomed Sci. 2012; 8(4):244-81550-9702http://hdl.handle.net/10668/1402Journal Article;Donor cell leukaemia (DCL) is a rare complication of allogenic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). We report the case of a female patient with acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL), FAB type M3, who developed acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) type M5 of donor origin 17 years after allogenic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) from her HLA-matched sister. Morphology and immunophenotyping showed differences with the initial leukaemia, and short tandem repeat (STR) analysis confirmed donor-type haematopoiesis. Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) showed an 11q23 deletion. Given that the latency period between transplant and development of leukaemia was the longest reported to date, we discuss the mechanisms underlying delayed leukaemia onset.enbone marrow transplantationdonor cell leukaemiaFISHMLLSTREnfermedad AgudaTrasplante de Médula ÓseaLeucemia promielocítica agudaDonantes de TejidosFemeninoTrasplante de Células Madre HematopoyéticasTrasplante HomólogoMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Pathological Conditions, Signs and Symptoms::Pathologic Processes::Disease Attributes::Acute DiseaseMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Surgical Procedures, Operative::Transplantation::Tissue Transplantation::Bone Marrow TransplantationMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Neoplasms::Neoplasms by Histologic Type::Leukemia::Leukemia, Myeloid::Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute::Leukemia, Promyelocytic, AcuteMedical Subject Headings::Named Groups::Persons::Tissue DonorsMedical Subject Headings::Check Tags::FemaleMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Surgical Procedures, Operative::Transplantation::Cell Transplantation::Stem Cell Transplantation::Hematopoietic Stem Cell TransplantationMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Surgical Procedures, Operative::Transplantation::Transplantation, Homologousresearch article23675279open access1555-2810PMC3615294
