Özet

Aplastic anemia (AA) may evolve into clonal diseases like myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML). Monosomy 7 is a poor prognostic chromosomal abnormality commonly associated with therapy related MDS and secondary AML. It has also been associated with leukomogenic transformation in AA. We present here two adult male patients with acquired severe AA. Both patients had received immunosuppressive therapy (IST) as first line treatment and had monosomy 7 positive clone at transformation to MDS with refractory anemia and excess of blast (RAEB-II) and AML, respectively. Both patients have undergone allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation from their HLA identical donors (unrelated and sibling).
