Spontaneous Remission of Monosomy 7 Six Years After Diagnosis

We report a case of a child with bone marrow failure and monosomy 7 who underwent spontaneous remission 75 months after diagnosis. The patient had no exposure to chemotherapeutic or immunosuppressive agents. The patient did not receive chemotherapy or other treatment during the 75 months. Despite remaining positive for monosomy 7, he never developed myelodysplasia or acute myeloid leukemia. Spontaneous remission of monosomy 7 may occur years after diagnosis in some patients.
