Abstract:
We report a case of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) developed in a human immunodeficiency virus-infected patient, which is a very rare event. The subtype of AML was initially determined as AML M6a (French-American-British classification), but it was transformed into AML M5b in the course of treatment. Blasts showed very intense staining with periodic acid-Schiff and multiple complex chromosomal abnormalities in the karyotype.
