A rare case of B-lymphoid blast phase of chronic myeloid leukemia: Diagnostic challenges

Chronic myeloid leukemia(CML) is characterized by Philadelphia(Ph) chromosome. About 5% of cases are diagnosed in blast phase. We report a case of a 53-year-old female with no significant medical history, in B-lymphoblast crisis. Flow cytometry demonstrated B-lymphoblasts with no myeloid aberrancies...

Sumario:Chronic myeloid leukemia(CML) is characterized by Philadelphia(Ph) chromosome. About 5% of cases are diagnosed in blast phase. We report a case of a 53-year-old female with no significant medical history, in B-lymphoblast crisis. Flow cytometry demonstrated B-lymphoblasts with no myeloid aberrancies, together with immature neutrophils in blood, and B-lymphoblasts in bone marrow. Cytogenetic studies identified Ph+ with complex abnormalities. Molecular analysis showed positive both for p210 and p190 transcripts in blood. ABL1 mutation analysis by Next Generation Sequencing(NGS) detected Thr315Ile mutation, which confers resistance to many tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKIs). Eight months later she received allogeneic transplant and is doing well.
