Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) is one of the worst adverse events of mitoxantrone treatment, but the exact risk in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients is not yet known. We describe a case wherein the patient developed t-AML 11 months after mitoxantrone had been discontinued. The patient was treated by polychemotherapy and autologous bone marrow transplantation with complete recovery of t-AML and stabilization of the neurological disease.Entities:
