Acute basophilic leukemia.

I Shah, L M Lewkow, F Koppitch

    The American Journal of Medicine
    |June 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This case study reports the first instance of essential thrombocythemia transforming into acute basophilic leukemia. The patient presented with high basophil counts and elevated histamine levels, alongside a significant cytogenetic abnormality.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Oncology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Essential thrombocythemia is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by increased platelet count.
    • Transformations to acute myeloid leukemia are known complications, but transformation to acute basophilic leukemia is exceptionally rare.

    Observation:

    • A 61-year-old woman with essential thrombocythemia developed acute basophilic leukemia.
    • Peripheral blood and bone marrow showed 85-90% basophils.
    • Serum histamine levels exceeded 10,000 ng/ml.

    Findings:

    • The transformation was associated with a cytogenetic change from a normal 46XX karyotype to 46XX 2p+ in 66-90% of bone marrow cells.
    • This genetic alteration may be linked to the leukemic transformation.

    Implications:

    • This case may represent the first documented instance of essential thrombocythemia progressing to acute basophilic leukemia.
    • Understanding this rare transformation pathway could offer new insights into myeloproliferative neoplasm evolution.
    • Further research into the role of 2p+ cytogenetic changes in this context is warranted.
