X-linked sideroblastic anemia (XLSA) is a rare cause of anemia. Early diagnosis through clinical suspicion is crucial for effective treatment with pyridoxine and management of iron overload.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Genetics
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Microcytic, hypochromic anemia with splenomegaly necessitates thorough investigation.
  • Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with anemia and splenomegaly, showing dysplastic erythropoiesis and ring sideroblasts in bone marrow.
  • Initial suspicion of myelodysplastic syndrome (refractory anemia with ring sideroblasts) was revised upon family history review.

Findings:

  • X-linked sideroblastic anemia (XLSA) was diagnosed, confirmed by positive response to pyridoxine treatment.
  • Iron overload was evident, leading to secondary fibrosis and cirrhosis, managed with deferoxamine and phlebotomies.

Implications:

  • XLSA is a critical differential diagnosis for acquired sideroblastic anemias.
  • High clinical suspicion is vital for diagnosing XLSA, as morphological studies can be inconclusive.
  • Timely diagnosis enables effective treatment and management of complications like iron overload.
