Abstract:
A case of therapy-related AML with t(8;16)(p11;p13) 14 months following the end of anthracycline-containing chemotherapy for a nonmetastatic osteosarcoma of the left tibia is presented. The patient was successfully treated with intensive remission-induction chemotherapy. Subsequently, he underwent an uncomplicated allogeneic bone marrow transplantation from his HLA-identical brother and is at present alive and disease-free 10 months after diagnosis of the secondary AML.
