| Abstract |
|
Agnogenic myeloid metaplasia characterized by marrow fibrosis, leukoerythroblastic anemia,
extramedullary hematopoiesis with varying degree of hepatosplenomgaly, is very rare disorder in
children.
We experienced a case of agnogenic myeloid metaplasia 34 months old male patient who was
presented with pallor, generalized petechiae, marked hepatosplenomegaly and intermittent fever.
Peripheral blood smear showed leukoerythroblastosis, poikilocytosis and tear drop cells. Bone
marrow aspiration and biopsy showed fibrosis with no more than 20.5% of blast on differnetial count
and liver biopsy showed a megakaryocyte in the sinusoid. All of these findings are compatible with
agnogenic myeloid metaplasia.
Patient died on 40th hospital day without response to oxymetholone, busulfan, steroid, daunomycin
and adriamycin.
A brief review of relevant literature is presented. |
