This is a rare case of an elderly woman diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia secondary to myelodysplastic syndrome who presented a spontaneous trans-iliac bone faecal fistula probably related to an incarcerated inguinal hernia and neutropaenia. As far as we know, this is the first described case of a trans-iliac bone faecal fistula.

Acute Myeloid

Myeloid malignancies in children are divided into acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), juvenile myelomonocytic leukaemia (JMML), and the myeloid leukaemia of Down syndrome (ML-DS). Predisposing genetic conditions are common in MDS. Differentiating MDS from inherited bone marrow failure or AML may be challenging. Therapy consists of observation, immunosuppression, or stem-cell transplantation (SCT). Germline and somatic mutations deregulating the Ras/MAPK signal pathways are key initiating events in JMML. Genetics in JMML defines clinically relevant subgroups and indications for SCT. ML-DS presents with unique clinical characteristics and responds favourably to reduced doses of AML chemotherapy; however, relapse is often refractory to therapy.
