Secondary acute myeloid leukemia 4 years after the diagnosis of hairy cell leukemia: case report and review of the literature

F Al-Fiar et al. Leuk Res. 1999 Aug.

Abstract

A 49-year-old man diagnosed with hairy cell leukemia (HCL) achieved a complete remission lasting 4 years after treatment with cladrabine and subsequently developed acute myeloid leukemia. Although a wide variety of second malignancies have been noted in HCL with an incidence of 8.7%, acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has been reported only once previously in a splenectomized patient who had been treated with alpha interferon.
