Precancerous conditions in which abnormalities in the peripheral blood or bone marrow represent the early manifestations of acute leukemia, but in which the changes are not enough to permit a diagnosis of acute leukemia.
A myelodysplasticsyndrome was noted 83 months from the start of therapy.
2
With these techniques, we studied a 61-year-old woman with a myelodysplasticsyndrome.
3
Case reports: A 76-year-old male with a known myelodysplasticsyndrome presented with pneumonia.
4
Additionally, two patients with primary mediastinal germ cell cancer developed a myelodysplasticsyndrome.
5
Sixteen children with myelodysplasticsyndrome as defined by the French-American-British co-operative group are presented.
1
Ten patients with preleukemia and life-threatening pancytopenia were treated with marrow transplantation.
2
Specimens were obtained from patients with preleukemia and associated antigen weakening, and from individuals with normal antigen values.
3
This experience also emphasizes the importance of performing chromosome studies before transplantation for pancytopenic states in order to identify cases of preleukemia.
