title: Myelodysplastic syndrome with transformation to acute monocytic leukemia with FLT3-ITD mutation following orthotopic liver transplantation.
abstract: A rare case of a 46-year-old man who underwent myelodysplastic syndrome, acute monocytic leukemia with FLT3-ITD mutation and splenic disruption following orthotopic liver transplantation is reported. The study of this case may be helpful to understand both the pathogenesis of acute leukemia and new complication of liver transplantation.
