The introduction of imatinib has been a major advance in the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). However, despite its remarkable efficacy and toxicity profile little is known about the potential for long-term toxicity. This may be an important issue because some patients (pts) with
chronic myelogenous leukemia
(
CML
) develop, during imatinib treatment, chromosomal abnormalities in philadelphia chromosome (Ph) negative cells with evolution to myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML), furthermore a nonrandom association between GIST and myeloid leukemia has been recently reported. We report here a case of refractory cytopenia with mutilineage dysplasia (
RAEB-1
) with monosomy 7 which rapidly transformed into AML in a patient with GIST during imatinib treatment.
