Philadelphia Chromosome Positive

T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-ALL/LBL) is rare and aggressive leukemia. Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) is the most common cytogenetic abnormality in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Ph+ T-ALL is exceeding rare and has a therapeutic and prognostic significance. The incidence and outcome of Ph+ T-ALL are unknown. Differentiation between Ph+ T-ALL/LBL and T-cell lymphoblastic crises of CML may be difficult. We report a rare case of adult de novo T-ALL with significant monocytosis, having Ph+ with (P190 <i>BCR-ABL1</i>) as a cytogenetic abnormality. He was treated with ALL induction chemotherapy and imatinib and achieved complete remission, then relapsed twice and expired shortly after the last CNS relapse.

Life Threatening

This case illustrates that hematologic disorders must be considered as a potentially life-threatening cause for vision loss. Proper laboratory workup and timely interdisciplinary approach are essential to ensure the best possible care for ophthalmic patients. Historically, before the use of bone marrow biopsy, the ophthalmologist was often asked to assist in the diagnosis of leukemia. Since ophthalmological symptoms may be the initial presenting signs of leukemia as highlighted in this case, the ophthalmogist is still of crucial importance.
