[Multiple myeloma preceding myelodysplastic syndrome with eosinophilia and der (1;7)].
    [Rinsho ketsueki] The Japanese journal of clinical hematology, 1994, Volume: 35, Issue:11

    Multiple myeloma (IgG kappa + IgA kappa type, clinical stage IA) was diagnosed in a 82-year-old woman in January 1986. Chemotherapy (melphalan, prednisolone, vindesine, cyclophosphamide), caused prolonged myelosuppression. Therefore she was given other treatment. In October 1992, her peripheral blood examination demonstrated 2% blastic cells and 12% eosinophils. Bone marrow aspiration showed dysplastic features of trilineage blood cells with 4.8% myeloblasts. The karyotype of bone marrow cells from this patients was 47, XX, +der(1)t(1;7) (p11;p11), -7, +8. A diagnosis of therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome (refractory anemia) was established. Eleven months after diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome, she is alive without leukemic transformation.

Myeloproliferative disorder with profound hypereosinophilia associated with chemotherapy for breast cancer.
    Cancer, 1984, Dec-01, Volume: 54, Issue:11

    A 47-year-old woman developed a unique myeloproliferative disorder 36 months after receiving adjuvant chemotherapy postoperatively for breast carcinoma. Her bone marrow and peripheral blood exhibited many of the myelodysplastic changes commonly observed in treatment-linked leukemia. In addition, there was striking marrow and blood eosinophilia and eosinophilic infiltration in multiple organs. She also developed a poorly differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma which responded to therapy. Her myeloproliferative disorder, with marked eosinophilia, continued to progress, however, and she died shortly after its diagnosis.

[Myeloma with hypereosinophilia. Eosinophil reaction following melphalan].

    Topics: Eosinophilia; Humans; Male; Melphalan; Middle Aged; Multiple Myeloma

1983
Scleromyxedema associated with esophageal aperistalsis and dermal eosinophilia.
    Cutis, 1981, Volume: 28, Issue:1

    Scleromyxedema (generalized lichen myxedematosus) is a rare variant of papular mucinosis characterized clinically by generalized waxy papules and marked cutaneous induration. Histologically, there is fibromucinous infiltration of the superficial dermis. Most patients also have had a monoclonal serum protein of cathodal mobility. The case to be presented is remarkable for the following reasons: 1. the presence of esophageal aperistalsis; 2. the presence of prominent dermal eosinophilia; and 3. the absence of a serum monoclonal paraprotein.
