Down syndrome with transient myeloid leukemia and urological abnormality.
Among the various anomalies associated with Down syndrome, leukemia is quite common. The variant transient myeloid leukemia is seen almost exclusively in the Down syndrome patients. On the other hand, urological anomalies are infrequently found both in the Down syndrome and leukemia patients. We report a case who had the rare combination of a urological anomaly along with Down syndrome and transient myeloid leukemia.
