Abstract

Dear Editor, The 2008 WHO classification defined therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MNs) as those cases of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN) that develop as a late complication of cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiation therapy given for a prior condition. The patient received six cycles of chemotherapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin and cytoreductive surgery. CT scan of her abdomen and pelvis revealed extensive disease in the abdomen with multiple peritoneal secondaries.
