Abstract

Lenalidomide is an immunomodulatory drug which is used to treat patients with MDS with deletion 5q chromosomal abnormality. In 2008, WHO introduced a new disease entity called MDS/MPN. No specific treatment for MDS/MPN subtype has yet been identified. We report a patient with MDS/MPN who responded well to lenalidomide therapy.

Keywords: 5q chromosomal abnormality; Lenalidomide; myelodysplastic syndrome; myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm.
