Abstract

The treatment of patients with congenital leukemia is difficult and often results in a poor prognosis. We present here the case of a female child with congenital acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with t(8; 16) (pll; pl3) who received chemotherapy and survived for more than 10 years without relapse. A novel MOZ CBP chimera was found in her diagnostic sample. Although adult AML patients with MOZ CBP have mainly been reported as having therapy-related AML and showed poor prognoses, the present case supports the idea that AML with MOZ CBP in the pediatric population might show better prognoses.
