Successful treatment of a patient with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia complicated by bone marrow necrosis and acute renal insufficiency: A case report.
Molecular and Clinical Oncology 2018 September
Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) complicated by bone marrow necrosis (BMN) and acute renal insufficiency (ARI) is rare in clinical practice. The aim of the present study was to summarize the clinical characteristics and treatment methods of a case of Ph+ ALL complicated by BMN and ARI. A 23-year-old male patient presented with pyrexia and a 2-month history of bone pain, and was diagnosed with Ph+ ALL complicated with BMN and ARI on peripheral blood tests, blood biochemistry tests, BM smear and fluorescence in situ hybridization. The patient underwent repeated hemodialysis, imatinib combination and maintenance chemotherapy, followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation. Some of the clinical signs and symptoms were alleviated, whereas others disappeared, and renal function was restored to normal. BM aspiration confirmed absence of necrosis and null lymphoblasts. Therefore, timely accurate diagnosis and effective treatment are crucial for patients with Ph+ ALL exhibiting potentially fatal complications.
