Abstract

A case of secondary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) was identified following adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL), for which combination chemotherapy had been administered, including epipodophyllotoxin, anthracycline, and alkylating agents. AML with maturation was diagnosed by the cytological findings, cell surface markers, and chromosomal abnormalities. We previously reported two cases of AML accompanied by ATL. In this case of AML after chemotherapy for ATL, we considered that the AML was probably associated with previous chemotherapy for ATL. Although the ATL remained in remission, the therapy-related AML with complex chromosomal abnormalities proved resistant to chemotherapy, and the patient died from complications associated with AML.
