Acute myeloid leukemia with hyperdiploidy.

This article discusses a case of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with hyperdiploidy, a rare subtype of AML. The patient, an 87-year-old male, presented with symptoms of fever, weakness, and weight loss. Bone marrow examination revealed blast cells and abnormal cytogenetic findings, including gains of several chromosomes. The case highlights the diagnostic challenges and potential prognostic implications of hyperdiploidy in AML. The patient initially responded well to chemotherapy but had abnormal serum creatinine levels. Further research is needed to determine the exact significance of hyperdiploidy in myeloid malignancies.
