Abstract

Fanconi Anemia (FA) is an inherited form of aplastic anemia. Patients have an increased tendency to develop solid cancers and leukemias. We describe a 40-year-old woman who was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation due to FA related bone marrow failure. FA patients should be under close follow-up in terms of leukemia development, especially if they have AML-related abnormal chromosomes.
