Deskripsi
Abstract The relationship between chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and tuberous sclerosis (TS) is unusual and uncommon. Here, we report a 24‐year‐old woman diagnosed with TS and later identified with CML, as the second case reported with such coexistence, treated with Nilotinib. This article proposes a hypothesis to explain the association. Therefore, we propose Nilotinib for the treatment of patients with such coexisting diseases. Further studies are warranted to reveal the dynamics between these conditions.
