Abstract: | Fanconi anemia is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by phenotypic abnormalities, increased chromosomal breaks and predisposition to various hematological and non-hematological malignancies. We present case report of a paediatric patient with Fanconi anemia presenting as acute myeloid leukemia. The presence of dysplastic features in this marrow suggests the possibility of a prior stage of myelodysplasia progressing to leukemia. |
