Secondary leukemias occurring in patients treated with different forms of chemotherapy are not uncommon. The majority of leukemia cases following either chemotherapy or radiation treatment are of the acute myeloid leukemia (AML) type (1). These patients often follow a myelodysplastic phase, with a reported latent period of about 6 years between the original diagnosis of the primary cancer and that of the secondary AML. The resulting AML usually exhibits partial or complete dele-tions of chromosomes 5 and/or 7 (2). Typically, these cases developed after treatment with an alkylating agent with or without radiotherapy (3). Recently, a cytogenetic finding involving abnormalities at chromosome band 11q23 has accompanied a subset of secondary AML cases (particularly monoblastic [AML-M5] and myelomonoblastic [AML-M4] forms); the vast majority of these cases developed after treat-ment regimens involving the epipodophyllotoxins (4, 5).
