TRANSFORMATION OF MYELODYSPLASTIC SYNDROME INTO ACUTE MYELOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA (CLINICAL CASE)

Despite the availability of modern methods for diagnosing and treating myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) in the arsenal of a hematologist, even with an adequate treatment strategy, it is not always possible to predict the timing of transformation of the disease into acute myeloid leukemia. The clinical case we presented demonstrates the rapid transformation of MDS into acute myeloid leukemia in a relatively young patient whose prognosis turned out to be poorly predictable despite a change in therapy.
