Donor cell leukemia is a rare complication after allogeneic hematopoietic
stem cell transplantation. A twelve month old boy underwent unrelated donor
umbilical cord blood transplant (UCBT) for refractory Langerhan's cell
histiocytosis. Forty months following transplant he developed acute myeloid
leukemia. Cytogenetic and molecular analysis confirmed donor cell origin.
The Cord Blood Bank (CBB) contacted the donor's family and established that
the child, now seven years old, was healthy. This represents the first
reported case of donor cell leukemia following UCBT. This case illustrates
that donor cell leukemia is a rare but real event after UCBT as with other
stem cell sources and highlights the need for CBBs to maintain linkage data
between donors and recipients.
