Abstract
Bone marrow necrosis (BMN) occurs most frequently in hematological malignancies and sometimes in non-hematological disorders. Lymphoid diseases causing necrosis are regarded as high-grade disease. B-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma is the most common malignant cause of BMN. Here, we present two patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) and MYC gene abnormalities who developed BMN. In one case of BMN, the necrosis disappeared in response to chemotherapy, and the patient survived with complete remission. In the other case, BMN remained even after chemotherapy, and effective chemotherapy could not be administered due to suppressed hematopoiesis, which led to the lymphoma worsening and the patient's death. Indolent lymphomas, such as FL, as in these cases, have the potential to develop BMN. It is important to detect the development of BMN and administer chemotherapy early to improve patient prognosis, since severe BMN prevents patients from receiving effective treatment.

CLINICAL LYMPHOMA MYELOMA & LEUKEMIA 2020; 21:e356-e364. [PMID: 33541793 DOI: 10.1016/j.clml.2020.12.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2020] [Revised: 11/30/2020] [Accepted: 12/02/2020] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone marrow necrosis (BMN) is a rare secondary disorder of many discrepant neoplastic processes. The etiology is diverse, and malignancy is the most common background disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between 2005 and 2019, a total of 23 cases of BMN were detected and analyzed at Zhujiang Hospital and Nanfang Hospital. RESULTS In our study, the 40-60-year-old age group was the one with the highest incidence of BMN (n = 12, 52.2%). The background diseases of patients with BMN varied. Eighteen (78.3%) of 23 patients were diagnosed with hematologic diseases at the same time, most of which were acute B lymphocytic leukemia (n = 8, 34.8%). The complete blood count of these 23 patients noted a decrease in hemoglobin (100%), a decrease or increase in white blood cells and neutrophils, and thrombocytopenia (78.3%). The levels of lactate dehydrogenase (> 300 U/L) and serum ferritin (> 500 μg/L) were elevated in all patients, and 16 (94.1%) of 17 patients presented with increased d-dimer levels. The 2-week cumulative survival and 2-year cumulative survival of patients with BMN were 56.5% and 47.4%, respectively. The mortality probability within 2 weeks was 43.5%, and the adjusted mortality probability was 26.7% within 2 weeks to 2 years, indicating that patients with BMN had the greatest risk of death within 2 weeks. CONCLUSION BMN patients with B lymphocytic leukemia as the background disease had a better prognosis than those with other background diseases. BMN of unknown etiology may have an extremely poor prognosis. Therefore, diagnosing the background disease plays an important role in the treatment of BMN.
