ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical features of IgD multiple myeloma (MM) and the effect and prognosis of daratumumab-based combination therapy.Methods:The clinicopathological data of a IgD MM patient with disease progression and extramedullary infiltration treated with daratumumab in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University in December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The 74-year-old woman was diagnosed as IgD MM by bone marrow aspiration and immunofixation electrophoresis. The patient was given VD (bortezomib, dexamethasone), RD (lenalidomide, dexamethasone) and ID (ixazomib, dexamethasone) regimens. In June 2020, the patient developed multiple subcutaneous nodules, and she was assessed as progressive disease with extensive extramedullary infiltration. After treated with daratumumab-PAD (liposomal doxorubicin, bortezomib, dexamethasone) regimen, the patient's subcutaneous nodules were significantly reduced and partially disappeared, and the general condition was significantly improved. But the patient was in a cachexia state and finally died of the irregular treatment and disease progression.Conclusions:IgD MM has a low incidence and a short survival period, and there is no uniform standard treatment. The early application of daratumumab combined with proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulators, cytotoxic drugs and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may improve the overall survival of patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical and molecular biological characteristics of mixed_phenotypic acute leukemia (MPAL) with SET_NUP214 fusion gene positive and extramedullary infiltration. Methods The clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of one MPAL patient with SET_NUP214 and extramedullary infiltration who was admitted to Hebei Yanda Ludaopei Hospital in November 2017 were analyzed, and the literature was reviewed. Results The patient was diagnosed as MPAL with extramedullary infiltration. Gene detection found SET exon7_NUP214 exon17 fusion positive accompanied with PHF6, SRSF2 and NRAS mutations. After intensive chemotherapy, the patient achieved complete remission, and then received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), followed by early extramedullary relapse after transplantation, and achieved secondary remission after consolidation chemotherapy. Conclusions MPAL with SET_NUP214 fusion gene positive and extramedullary infiltration has a poor prognosis, and it is easy to relapse. Currently, HSCT is the best available treatment strategy for such patients.
