| Abstract | We report the case of a man with chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) and a 46,XY,t(5;9;22) karyotype who developed acute myelocytic leukemia (AML) with a 45,X,t(8;21) karyotype 11 years after bone marrow transplantation (BMT) from his HLA-matched sister. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) studies and molecular analysis using short tandem repeat (STR) sequences proved the new leukemia to be of donor cell origin. Donor cell leukemia (DCL) after BMT is rare. Our review of the literature found 15 cases following BMT for leukemia and 2 cases after BMT for benign hematological disorders. In fewer than half the reported cases were molecular studies available to confirm the cytogenetic evidence for DCL, and the longest previously reported interval between BMT and DCL was 6 years. |
