Development of secondary T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia in a child with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.
Pediatric Blood & Cancer 2010 October
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a severe life-threatening disorder, characterized by hyperactivation of macrophages. A 12-year-old female was referred to our center; the diagnosis of HLH was made for the patient and immunosuppressive regimen was started. After a 2-year follow-up, the patient developed secondary T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), confirmed by flow cytometric studies. Treatment was started based on T-ALL protocol, but the patient died because of relapse and sepsis. This case highlights the issue of secondary malignancy following HLH and demonstrates the need for continued follow-up in such patients.
