Pediatric acute promyelocytic leukemia and Fanconi anemia: Case report and literature review
We report a 4 year-old boy from non-consanguineous parents diagnosed with standard risk APL. This child had café-au-lait spots and an extra thumb remnant. Genomic sequencing revealed two PV in FANCD1/BRCA2 confirming a diagnosis of FA-D1. Chromosomal breakage studies were compatible with FA. Each parent carried one variant and had no personal history of cancer. Morphological then molecular remissions were achieved with all-trans retinoic acid and Arsenic trioxide. This patient underwent haploidentical stem cell transplant. In addition to our patient, a literature search revealed four additional patients with APL/FA, with a total of three patients with FA-D1. This raises the possibility of an association between such rare disorders. Practical management of APL in the setting of FA-D1 is discussed with an overview of current evidence and knowledge gaps.PMID:38658784 | DOI:10.1111/cge.14537
