Therapy-related, donor-derived AML responding to a second allogeneic BMT

Abstract: Donor cell leukemia is a rare complication of allogeneic BMT, and many hypotheses about the underlying mechanisms have been put forth.1,2 Since donor cell leukemia is such a rare phenomenon, treatment of these patients has not been standardized. In this report, we present a child with pre-B ALL who developed a secondary AML of donor origin with Mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL) gene rearrangement after treatment for a relapse of his ALL after allogeneic BMT. A second allogeneic BMT with marrow from the same donor w… Show more

“…This speaks to the importance of the two-hit hypothesis, in which a second insult to the marrow is required to develop frank malignancy. This could come from residual effects of chemotherapy 19, 47 , impaired immune surveillance 19 , or even elements in the marrow stroma and microenvironment that drive leukemogenesis 30 . Additionally, the authors suggest that telomere shortening related to stress hematopoiesis at the time of graft infusion could lead to genetic instability in engrafted cells 48, 49 and the development of frank malignancy 28 .…”

“…Another theory suggests that the residual effects of conditioning chemotherapy may damage the graft and cause a therapy related neoplasm as is classically associated with topoisomerase II inhibitors and alkylating agents. In a review by Wiseman, 96% of the patient with DCL had been exposed to either of these two classes of chemotherapeutics during conditioning and 47% had cytogenetic abnormalities consistent with t-AML including −7 and MLL gene rearrangements [ 6 , 10 , 11 ].…”

“…Leukaemia recurred 62 days after marrow transplantation with blasts showing a male genotype. Since then, several cases reports of DCL have been reported [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] and also some small case series [12][13][14][15]. Increased reporting in the last decade likely reflects the increasing number of HCT performed but also improved ability to identify donor cell origin.…”
