ABSTRACT
Secondary acute myeloid leukemia is a very rare complication in patients with solid organ transplantation. We report a 62 years old female who received a right single lung allograft for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Her immunosuppression scheme consisted in prednisone, azathioprine, and tacrolimus. Two years after the transplantation, she presented with progressive pancytopenia. Bone marrow aspiration was informed as a M4 acute myeloid leukemia, confirmed by flow cytometry. Cytogenetic study was complex, including alterations in chromosome 5. A secondary acute myeloid leukemia was diagnosed. The patient developed nosocomial pneumonia and died a few days after the diagnosis, without specific treatment. The pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia is probably related to the intensive exposure to immunosuppressant, especially azathioprine, in these patients.
