Atypical chronic myelogenous leukemia (aCML) has dysplastic as well as proliferative features in most instance and rarely evolves to blast crisis, so it is considered as a distinct clinical entity to classical BCR-ABL (+) CML. We experienced a patient who are diagnosed aCML and transformed to myeloid blast crisis after 17 months. Monosomy 7 and deletion of 12p were found on conventional cytogenetics.
Keywords Atypical chronic myelogenous leukemia; Myeloid blast crisis; Monosomy 7; Deletion of 12p
