Philadelphia-positive T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia with polymyositis, migratory polyarthritis and hypercalcemia following a chronic myeloid leukemia. Lima M, Coutinho J, Bernardo L, dos Anjos Teixeira M, Casais C, Canelhas A, Queirós L, Orfão A, Justiça B. Department of Clinical Hematology, Hospital Geral de Santo António, Rua D Manuel II, s/n, 4099-001 Porto, Portugal. mmc.lima@clix.pt Abstract Transformation of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) often results in acute myeloblastic or, less frequently, in precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). T-cell blast crisis is rare. Hypercalcemia has also been described as a rare complication of CML, but this usually occurs as a terminal event. Here we report a case of a 35-year-old woman who developed a CD4(+)/CD8(+) T-cell ALL 2 years after the diagnosis of a typical Ph(+) CML. Polymyositis and polyarthritis preceded by 4 months, and symptomatic hypercalcemia occurred just before blastic transformation, probably representing paraneoplastic manifestations of the disease.
