- Abstract
The article describes the case of a 56-year-old woman with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDA). She complained of fatigue and easy bruising for several weeks. She became progressively anemic and leukopenic over the next five months. She was treated with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. The epidemiology, clinical presentation and diagnosis of MDS are discussed. Treatments for the disease are cited, which include lenalidomide, immunosuppression and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
