The effectiveness of tyrosine kinase inhibitor for chronic myeloid leukemia in tuberous sclerosis. A case report and review of literature

Abstract The relationship between chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and tuberous sclerosis (TS) is unusual and uncommon. Here, we report a 24‐year‐old woman diagnosed with TS and later identified with CML, as the second case reported with such coexistence, treated with Nilotinib. This article propo...

description Abstract The relationship between chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and tuberous sclerosis (TS) is unusual and uncommon. Here, we report a 24‐year‐old woman diagnosed with TS and later identified with CML, as the second case reported with such coexistence, treated with Nilotinib. This article proposes a hypothesis to explain the association. Therefore, we propose Nilotinib for the treatment of patients with such coexisting diseases. Further studies are warranted to reveal the dynamics between these conditions.
