Abstract

In February 2020, a 74-year-old female was diagnosed with myelomonocytic acute myeloid leukaemia with FLT3 mutation and blasts positive for CD33, BCL-2 and CD68/PGM1. Not responding to a standard Cytarabine-containing regimen plus Midostaurin, the patient achieved a complete remission (CR) of the disease in the bone marrow following a reinduction therapy with high-dose Cytarabine but simultaneously relapsed developing leukaemia cutis with disseminated lesions in 80% of the body surface area. After receiving 10 cycles of Decitabine plus Venetoclax the patient achieved and maintains a continuous CR.
