A t(1;9)(p10;q10) in addition to two extra der(1;9)(q10;p10) chromosomes was observed in two patients of essential thrombocythemia that transformed to acute myelogenous leukemia or to myelofibrosis.
We herein report the first case in the literature, to our knowledge, of a 44-year-old female with essential thrombocythemia and severe myelofibrosis who developed acute myeloid leukemia (AML-M4) with der(1;15)(q10;q10) after 13 years of treatment.
An adolescent with chronic myeloid leukemia initially presented with extreme thrombocytosis, increased megakaryopoiesis with dysmorphic features, and focal myelofibrosis in bone marrow examinations and then developed isolated myelosarcoma 1 year after onset, with t(9;22)(q34;q11.2), +8, +14, +21, and der(1)(p36).
A 47-year-old female with idiopathic myelofibrosis developed isolated granulocytic sarcoma with der (1; 7)(q10; p10) after splenectomy, followed by acute myelogenous leukemia.
