[Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AML-7) in a woman of 95 years].
Acute leukemia of megakaryocyte lineage (AML-7) is a rare entity defined by a blastic proliferation of which a part (>or= 50%) is represented by megakaryoblasts. We report the case of a 95 year old woman presenting a AML-7 secondary to a myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), that represents an unusual form of MDS acutisation.
