[Acute curable preleukemic bone marrow aplasia in children]

G Schaison

    Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy = Biomedecine & Pharmacotherapie
    |March 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    A rare sequence of transient aplasia followed by acute leukemia in children was observed in 13 cases. This highlights a challenging diagnostic dilemma between initial aplasia and undetected leukemia.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Hematology
    • Oncology
    • Hematologic Malignancies

    Context:

    • Transient aplasia followed by acute leukemia is a rare clinical presentation in children.
    • This study examines 13 pediatric cases with this specific sequence.

    Purpose:

    • To report and analyze observations of transitory aplasia preceding acute leukemia in children.
    • To discuss the diagnostic challenges and clinical characteristics of this rare phenomenon.

    Summary:

    • Thirteen children (6 months-10 years) presented with aplasia followed by acute leukemia.
    • Clinical findings included cytopenias, splenomegaly, and hepatomegaly.
    • Leukemia types varied (myeloblastic, lymphoblastic, sarcoma), with spontaneous or treatment-induced remissions.
    • Median survival was 5-32 months, with two long-term remissions (>10 years).
    • The etiology remains debated: non-leukemic aplasia or undetected early leukemia.

    Impact:

    • Contributes to understanding rare pediatric hematologic disorders.
    • Informs diagnostic approaches for children presenting with cytopenias.
    • Highlights the potential for long-term remission in specific cases.
