title: Remission of transformed myelodysplastic syndrome with fibrosis after danazol therapy.
abstract: Danazol has been used with success in some hematological diseases, but there is no report of this treatment in acute leukemia. We report here a case of remission of myelodysplastic syndrome with myelofibrosis in transformation after danazol therapy in a 72-yr-old man. The role of danazol in remission induction is briefly discussed.
