Acute myeloid leukemia with monosomy 7, ectopic virus integration site-1 overexpression and central diabetes insipidus: A case report

Abstract: Abstract. Central diabetes insipidus (DI) is a rare complication in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), typically occurring in patients with abnormalities of chromosomes 3 or 7. The association between AML with monosomy 7 and DI has been described in a number of studies; however, DI has been rarely reported in cases of ectopic virus integration site-1 (EVI1)-positive AML with monosomy 7. The current study reports a case of AML with monosomy 7 and EVI1 overexpression, with central DI as the initial symp… Show more

“…Other proposed mechanisms include leukemic infiltration, hemorrhage, leukostasis of secondary vessels, autoimmune hypophysitis, and secondary infections. It is also possible that a combination of these mechanisms led to the development of CDI in her case (11). Our patient, similar to the 2 other patients with normal cytogenetics reported in the literature (8,9), had a robust response to dDAVP administration which allowed for improvement of her CDI symptoms.…”

“…In adult AML, controversial studies have underlined the heterogeneity of this cytogenetic group. 48 , 49 , 50 In our cohort, trisomy 8 was associated with very poor survival, but only if detected as the only cytogenetic aberration. Notably, 4 of 16 patients with trisomy 8 showed FLT3 mutations.…”

“…This karyotype seems to confer a very poor prognosis and may be associated with diabetes insipidus. 48 , 49 , 50 One patient in our cohort had this karyotype. He showed an exceedingly complicated course, never achieving CR and dying only 6 months after diagnosis.…”

“…It encodes a 1051 amino acid that serves as a transcription factor. Overexpression of this factor is postulated to result in low levels of ADH . It also has direct implications for abnormal megakaryopoeisis, and given that 90% of ADH is bound to platelets, alteration in platelet number and quality could affect ADH levels or function.…”

Keung described five cases of AML with inv(3)(q21.3q26.2) in consecutive cytogenetic studies of AML and myelodysplastic syndromes, two cases presented as sole abnormalities and three cases were associated with monosomy 7.…”
