• We describe a 60-year-old Japanese patient with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who developed myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with Ph negative monosomy 7 chromosome following transient bone marrow dysplasia during imatinib treatment. Most cases that developed chromosomal abnormality in Ph negative cells during imatinib therapy were reported to have less clinical implications, while rare cases developed MDS/AML. The present case suggested that metaphase karyotype analysis and bone marrow examination should be performed for the long term follow-up under imatinib treatment in cases showing cytopenia. The results also suggested that monosomy 7 in Ph negative cells may be an indicator of a poor prognosis.
