Primary 5q-syndrome, a myelodysplastic syndrome, rarely transforms into leukemia. This case highlights a patient who developed leukemia with an additional genetic anomaly after 7 years, emphasizing the importance of monitoring karyotypic evolution.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Oncology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Primary 5q-syndrome is a myelodysplastic syndrome defined by specific blood cell abnormalities.
  • It typically has a low risk of progressing to acute myeloid leukemia.

Observation:

  • A 42-year-old woman with primary 5q-syndrome developed leukemic transformation 7 years post-diagnosis.
  • Her leukemic cells exhibited an additional chromosomal abnormality, deletion of the long arm of chromosome 7 (del(7q)).

Findings:

  • This case demonstrates a rare instance of leukemic evolution in primary 5q-syndrome.
  • The emergence of a new karyotypic anomaly (del(7q)) was associated with transformation.

Implications:

  • Karyotypic evolution may play a role in the leukemic transformation of primary 5q-syndrome.
