Abstract
Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) co-expressing NUP98/NSD1 and FLT3/ITD have a dismal prognosis despite undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). There are a few studies on successful treatment of relapsed AML co-expressing NUP98/NSD1 and FLT3/ITD. We report a refractory case of molecular relapse of AML co-expressing NUP98/NSD1 and FLT3/ITD post-matched sibling HSCT. Donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) at an early stage of post-transplantation resulted in complete molecular remission for 29 months with durable chronic graft-versus-host disease. Our case suggests the clinical efficacy of preemptive DLI following minimal residual disease analysis for the treatment of refractory AML.Entities:
