Myelodysplastic Syndrome with t(1;7)‎ Associated with Marked Dysmegakarypoiesis & Severe Thrombocytopenia : A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Abstract EN

We present the case of a 70-year-old woman who had a bone marrow examination performed to investigate marked thrombocytopenia in the context of a recent history of metastatic glucagonoma.

Surprisingly this identified marked dysmegakaryopoiesis and fulfilled diagnostic criteria for refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia, with a relatively uncommon associated cytogenetic lesion t(1;7).

We present the case and review the literature of this cytogenetic lesion.
