Tetraploidy is a rare chromosome number aberration in de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and may be associated with erythrophagocytosis by leukemic blast cells. We report a 48-year-old female patient with minimally differentiated acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML-M0) exhibiting tetraploidy and erythrophagocytosis. The karyotype was 46,XX[2]/92,XXXX[18].

Acute myeloblastic leukemia cases carrying the translocation t(8;16) (p11;p13) are characterized by the M4 and M5 subtypes, erythrophagocytosis by the blast cells and a poor prognosis, suggesting a new clinical entity. The t(8;16) fuses the MOZ gene which encodes a histone acetyltransferase, located on 8p11 with the CBP gene which also encodes a histone acetyltransferase, located on 16p13, and recent reports suggested that the chimeric transcription MOZ-CBP is essential for leukemogenesis. A 68-year-old woman who had been treated mainly with paclitaxel and carboplatin for preceding ovarian cancer was admitted to our hospital, complaining of right breast mass.

This report documents a case of myeloid erythrophagocytosis in a patient with myeloproliferative disorder. The patient had pancytopenia and his marrow was hyperplastic with erythrophagocytosis by myeloid cells of various stages, including myeloblasts. He was diagnosed to have a prefibrotic stage of chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis.
