Description

We describe a 36-month-old boy with acute monoblastic leukemia (AMoL M5a) and mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL)-AF9 rearrangement. At 18 months of age, he presented with swelling on the back of his hand that was considered to be an inflammatory change, but no hematological abnormalities were found. However, blasts with MLL-AF9 rearrangement were detected in biopsied tissue taken at the time and in peripheral blood samples taken 18 months later. These findings indicate that myeloid sarcoma with MLL-AF9 rearrangement may ultimately, though slowly, progress to AMoL.
