Patients with myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MDS/MPN) are often asymptomatic and thus can remain undiagnosed until they become symptomatic due to progression to the accelerated phase (AP) or transformation to acute leukemia (leukemic transformation; LT). We herein report the case of a previously healthy 38-year-old man who had hyperleukocytosis with dysplastic myeloid precursor cells and severe disseminated intravascular coagulation. Hematopoietic recovery with features of atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (aCML) after induction chemotherapy was a diagnostic clue. Although rare, this case highlights the limitation of the diagnostic approach for aCML with AP or LT at the initial presentation.
