Abstract

A patient with adult-onset Still's disease who presented with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) after a course of 6 years is reported. To our knowledge, this is the first such reported case. The patient died of acute myelocytic leukemia. The possibility that cyclosporine contributed to the onset of MDS is discussed.
