Deskripsi
We here report a 21-year-old male who presented with acute myelomonocytic leukemia (AMML) associated with acquired von Willebrand syndrome (AVWS). To our knowledge, this is the first case of AVWS caused by AMML. In our case, following remission-induction chemotherapy combined with idarubicin and cytarabine, the patient showed remarkable improvement of bleeding symptoms due to AVWS. Moreover, after an allogeneic stem cell transplantation from a sibling donor, both AMML and AVWS maintain complete remission.
