Abstract:

Background: Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma (AITL) is an aggressive lymphoma with multi faced clinical features. However, it's rare to see secondary Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) during the AITL progression. We reported an AITL case proceeding to AML during the initial treatment and summarized the AML cases secondary to AITL from the literature. Case Report: A 77-year-old woman presented with lymphadenopathies for one year; the lymph nodal biopsy and immunohistochemistry staining confirmed the AITL diagnosis without RHOAG17V and IDH2R172 mutations and excluded bone marrow infiltrated. After four courses of CHOP regimen treatment, the patient achieved a partial response. However, the bone marrow was observed the remarked increase of monoblasts, exceeding 70% of total monocytic linage, making the acute monocytic leukemia diagnosis. From the initial diagnosis of AITL to the diagnosis of AML was seven months, and the overall survival time was seven months. Conclusion: We presented a rare AITL case, indicating that secondary AML could occur not only after but also during the treatment of AITL. Besides, as the alkylating agents and topoisomerase II inhibitors are the main drugs to treatment-related AML, exploring the new treatment regimen to avoid the therapy-related AML in AITL is warranted. Furthermore, high-throughput sequencing technology should be considered in this rare situation to better investigate the relationship between AITL and AML in the future.
