We report a case of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), which developed from severe aplastic anemia (SAA) and was successfully treated by low-dose Ara-C and aclarubicin with concomitant use of G-CSF (CAG therapy). A 37-year-old male was admitted for scrutiny of pancytopenia and diagnosed as SAA because of hypocellular bone marrow without abnormal or dysplastic cells. Although hematopoiesis recovered with steroid pulse therapy followed by administration of anabolic steroids, 29 months after initial onset of SAA, he presented as AML (FAB-M6), as his bone marrow Contained 21.6% leukemic myeloblasts and 56% of erythroblasts. Chromosome study revealed 45, XY, -7 in 14 of 20 cells analyzed. Complete remission was achieved by administration of low-dose Ara-C (20 mg/m2 for 7 days) and aclarubicin (14 mg/m2 for 4 days) along with G-CSF (200 micrograms/m2 for 7 days), without any severe complications. In the previous reports in Japan since 1982, 7 out of 8 cases with AML developing from SAA died within a year. Our results indicate that CAG therapy is useful for treatment for this subset of AML with poor prognosis.
