AI Article Synopsis
- A 70-year-old woman underwent a bone marrow exam to explore her low platelet count related to metastatic glucagonoma.
- The examination revealed significant dysmegakaryopoiesis, leading to a diagnosis of refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia.
- An unusual cytogenetic change, t(1;7), was also identified, prompting a review of related literature on this specific lesion.
Article Abstract
We present the case of a 70-year-old woman who had a bone marrow examination performed to investigate marked thrombocytopenia in the context of a recent history of metastatic glucagonoma. Surprisingly this identified marked dysmegakaryopoiesis and fulfilled diagnostic criteria for refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia, with a relatively uncommon associated cytogenetic lesion t(1;7). We present the case and review the literature of this cytogenetic lesion.
