Abstract
Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a heterogeneous neoplastic hematologic disorder with worse overall survival. Half of CMML have mutations, but case with concomitant mutations of DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) and Internal tandem duplications of the juxtamembrane domain of FLT3 (FLT3-ITD) in CMML was not reported before. We reported a 51-year-old man who had CMML with concomitant mutations in DNMT3A and FLT3-ITD.The patient received decitabine and sorafenib combined treatment. In this report, we reviewed DNMT3A mutation and FLT3 mutation, and we reviewed treatment of decitabine and sorafenib. This report is significant. First: This is the first report on CMML with double-mutations of DNMT3A and FLT3-ITD. Second: It shows the importance of targeted drug in combined treatment of CMML.Entities:
