We report a case of therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML), M4 FAB subtype, with t(10;11)(p14;q21) chromosome abnormality developed in a patient treated for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) after 4 years of continuous complete remission (CCR). Two distinct forms of t-AML have been described: the classical type and the second type. Our case has many characteristics in common with the second type of t-AML such as: exposure to topoisomerase II active agents (idarubicin (IDA), mitoxantrone (MITOX), etoposide (VP16)), M4 FAB subtype, a latency period of 39 months and absence of a preleukemic phase. However, it differs in the chromosome 11 breakpoint (band q21 instead of q23) and absence of ALL-1 (Hrx, MLL, Htrx) gene involvement. This can represent the second observation of t-AML occurring after treatment for APL.

D003561 Cytarabine A pyrimidine nucleoside analog that is used mainly in the treatment of leukemia, especially acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia. Cytarabine is an antimetabolite antineoplastic agent that inhibits the synthesis of DNA. Its actions are specific for the S phase of the cell cycle. It also has antiviral and immunosuppressant properties.

D005047 Etoposide A semisynthetic derivative of PODOPHYLLOTOXIN that exhibits antitumor activity. Etoposide inhibits DNA synthesis by forming a complex with topoisomerase II and DNA. This complex induces breaks in double stranded DNA and prevents repair by topoisomerase II binding. Accumulated breaks in DNA prevent entry into the mitotic phase of cell division, and lead to cell death. Etoposide acts primarily in the G2 and S phases of the cell cycle.
