Cutaneous lesions in a case of acute megakaryoblastic leukaemia.

Clin Exp Dermatol

Department of Dermatology, Ysbyty Gwynedd, Bangor, Wales, UK.

Published: May 1996

We describe the case of a 68-year-old woman who presented with asymptomatic skin nodules and symptoms of anaemia, and was found to have acute megakaryoblastic leukaemia with fibrosis, a condition now believed to correspond to the former diagnosis of acute myelofibrosis. There is only one previous report of skin lesions developing in this condition.

Identifying inflammation-induced leukocyte subsets and their derived circulating factors has been instrumental in understanding the progession of ALI/ARDS. Nevertheless, how primary inflammation-induced non-leukocyte populations in distal organs contribute to ALI/ARDS remains poorly defined. Here, we report one population of erythroblast-like cells (Ter-cells) deriving from megakaryocyte- erythroid progenitor cells with a unique Ter-119+CD45-CD71+ phenotype in ALI/ARDS.

Pediatric acute myeloid leukemia frequently harbor fusion oncogenes associated with poor prognosis, including KMT2A, NUP98 and GLIS2 rearrangements. While murine models have demonstrated their leukemogenic activities, the steps from a normal human cell to leukemic blasts remain unclear. Here, we precisely reproduced the inversion of chromosome 16 resulting in ETO2::GLIS2 fusion in human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC).

Article Synopsis
  • Transient abnormal myelopoiesis (TAM) in neonates with Down syndrome (DS) presents similarly to acute megakaryoblastic leukemia but usually resolves on its own within months postpartum.
  • Some cases of TAM can lead to severe health issues, impacting the patient's prognosis negatively.
  • An autopsy of a stillborn female with TAM and DS revealed GATA1s protein expression in unusual immature megakaryocytes, indicating that placental tissue can be useful for diagnosing TAM histologically.
