Abstract

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has been suggested as a long‑term complication in patients with β‑thalassemia major (β‑TM). A 12‑months‑old male patient was diagnosed with β‑TM. The patient required a blood transfusion weekly for 2 years. At the age of 4 years, a splenectomy was performed due to massive splenomegaly and frequent transfusion requirements. The histopathological analysis of the spleen revealed extensive hemosiderosis. ALL‑L1 with the T immunophenotype and without central nervous system (CNS) involvement was diagnosed when the patient was 5 years old, and treated with anti‑leukemic combination chemotherapy and CNS radiotherapy. The patient completed 24 months of treatment and has been in complete remission for 7 years, without long‑term adverse events.
