MDS CASE PRESENTATION

 61 y.o. male with long-standing cytopenias since 2007, referred for worsening pancytopenia in the setting of traumatic jaw fracture & osteomyelitis.  Past Medical History:

• Severe schizophrenia, moderately controlled on Lamotrigine &

Fluphenazine

• Hepatitis C infection (genotype 2a, VL 44k, LFTs mildly elevated)

 Social History:

• Lives with mother who helps with his medications.
• Remote history of IV drug abuse and alcoholism, quit in 1971.
• Ongoing tobacco use (1 ppd).

 Hematology initially consulted in 2010 for mild stable pancytopenia, with hemoglobins in 10-11 g/dL range, platelets in the 80k range, and ANCs slightly downtrending to 700-800.

• Given stable disease, cytopenias were thought to be secondary to

psychiatric medications + hepatitis C.

 In 2011, patient incurred a traumatic jaw fracture requiring ORIF, complicated by coag – Staph/peptostreptococcus bacteremia and osteomyelitis.

• Cytopenias persisted after weeks of treatment and jaw debridement

(and an AMA discharge)

• Eventually consented to a bone marrow, which was performed 1

month after the fracture.

EVALUATION

 1st bone marrow lost in accessioning!  2nd bone marrow (performed on the psych service):

• Normocellular marrow (40%)
• Megaloblastic changes of erythroid lineage, but no dysplasia in

megakaryocytes or neutrophils

• Polyclonal plasma cell predominance (10-20%)
• Impression: Non-specific findings, could be secondary to hepatitis C.

Consider vitamin B12 deficiency. B12 level 529.

 Other studies:

• Flow: Mixed population, slightly abnormal myeloid maturation, no

increase in blasts.

• Cytogenetics: Lost (again!)
• FISH: 7q d

deletion i in 3 32.5% o

• f n

nuclei, trisomy 8 in 2.0%

BONE MARROW

 What do the bone marrow findings suggest about the etiology

• f his pancytopenia?

 What are his treatment options?  What is his prognosis?

QUESTIONS

 Lamotrigine was switched to Depakote for HDAC properties.  q1-2 week lab visits to establish compliance.  Recently required transfusion of 2 U PRBCs for symptomatic anemia with hemoglobin of 7.1g/dL and was initiated on Darbepoetin.  Scheduled for an initial consultation in Weinberg, but became paranoid about visit and didn’t attend visit despite urging of mother and hematologist.  Initial counts: WBC 1.9, ANC 180, Hemoglobin 9.9, Platelets 53.  Most recent counts: WBC 1.6, ANC 492, Hemoglobin 9.5 (s/p transfusion), Platelets 74.
