A 34-year old female was admitted to our clinic because of fever and general fatigue on March 26, 1987. On admission, peripheral blood (PB) revealed pancytopenia. Bone marrow smears revealed 9. 0% of promyelocytic cells with or without Auer rods. Diagnosis of RAEB in transformation was made. Chromosome study of the bone marrow cells showed t(15; 17) in 3 out of 20 cells analysed. After 3 months, the leukemic cells were observed in PB and increased in number. Then the patient showed bleeding tendency and fibrin degradation products (FDP) increased up to 40 micrograms/ml. And the leukemic cells were over 30% in PB at the end of July, 1987. The diagnosis of APL with DIC was made. To our knowledge, this is the first case of APL with a history of MDS with t(15; 17).

D004211 Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation A disorder characterized by procoagulant substances entering the general circulation causing a systemic thrombotic process. The activation of the clotting mechanism may arise from any of a number of disorders. A majority of the patients manifest skin lesions, sometimes leading to PURPURA FULMINANS.
