Noonan syndrome (NS) is an autosomal dominant disorder that varies in severity and can involve multiple organ systems. In approximately 50% of cases, it is caused by missense mutations in the gene (12q24.13). NS is associated with a higher risk of cancer occurrence, specifically hematological disorders. Here, we report a case of a child who was diagnosed at birth with a transient myeloproliferative disorder (TMD). After two years, the child developed hyperdiploid B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL), receiving a two-year course of treatment. During her continuous complete remission (CCR), a heterozygous germline mutation in the [c.218 C>T (p.Thr73lle)] was identified. At the age of ten, the child presented with massive splenomegaly, hyperleukocytosis, and thrombocytopenia, resulting in the diagnosis of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML). After an initial response to antimetabolite therapy (6-mercaptopurine), she underwent haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and is currently in complete remission. The goal of this review is to gain insight into the various hematological diseases associated with NS, starting from our unique case.
