ABSTRACT
We report a 47-year-old man with oligoblastic leukaemia (8;21) translocation, phenomenon of cannibalism by granulocytic cells and haemophagocytic syndrome. The patient responded to intensive chemotherapy with disappearance of haemophagocytosis, granulocytic and histiocytic. We conclude that (1) granulocytic cannibalism and haemophagocytic syndrome can be unusual myelodysplastic features; (2) the oligoblastic leukaemia with presence of cytogenetic abnormalities related to AML in young patients are probably more close to acute leukaemia than to myelodysplastic syndrome.
