title: [Bone marrow aplasia without blast crisis in a case of CML of 10-year survival].
abstract: A case of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) of 10-year survival in described. A 44-year old male was admitted to our hospital because of general malaise, abdominal fullness and fever in February, 1977. On physical examination, giant splenomegaly and hepatomegaly were detected. Peripheral blood examination revealed leukocytosis without hiatus leukemia , normochromic macrocytic anemia and thrombocytosis. NAP rate and score were 16% and 22. Cytogenetic analysis of PB without stimulator revealed 46, XY, Ph1. Then he was diagnosed as having a typical type of Ph1-positive CML. He had been successfully treated over 9 years by intermittent administration of busulfan. However, anemia suddenly progressed in February, 1986 followed by leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. Hemorrhage was not detected by the examination. Though he had been received blood transfusion, the anemia progressed rapidly. He was died of cachexia on 4th of August, 1987. The postmortem examination revealed bone marrow aplasia with no signs of blast crisis nor myelofibrosis. Secondary hemochromatosis was seen in the liver, spleen, pancreas and some other organs.
