Abstract

Acute megakaryocytic leukemia (AMKL) is a rare type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which is characterized by its effect on megakaryocytes in bone marrow. Despite standard doses of anthracycline plus cytarabine based regimen, AMKL is notorious for its poor prognosis. With the continuous development of targeted drugs, the choice of chemotherapy regimens for AML patients has been gradually enriched. However, as far as we known, there is little data with this regimen in AMKL with decitabine and Bcl-2 inhibitor combined with imatinib. Herein, we reported the first case of adult AMKL with BCR-ABL positive successfully treated with decitabine and venetoclax combined with imatinib.
