Sickle cell anemia

Sickle cell anemias are chronic hemolytic diseases that may induce three types of acute accidents: severe anemia, severe bacterial infections, and ischemic vasoocclusive accidents (VOA) caused by sickle-shaped red blood cells obstructing small blood vessels and capillaries. Many diverse complications can occur.

Leukemia

A cancer of the blood and bone marrow characterized by an abnormal proliferation of leukocytes.

Splenic infarction in a patient with autoimmune hemolytic anemia and protein C deficiency.
Park MY, Kim JA, Yi SY, Chang SH, Um TH, Lee HR.
Korean J Hematol. 2011;46(4):274-8.
Splenic infarction is most commonly caused by cardiovascular thromboembolism; however, splenic infarction can also occur in hematologic diseases, including sickle cell disease, hereditary spherocytosis, chronic myeloproliferative disease, leukemia, and lymphoma.

Sickle cell anemia and hematological neoplasias.
Paydas S.
Leuk Lymphoma. 2002;43(7):1431-4.
Here we report five cases with SCD and accompanying hematological neoplasias including lymphoblastic lymphoma, multiple myeloma and hairy cell leukemia in four cases with sickle cell trait and one case of Hodgkin' disease in sickle cell anemia.

Bone marrow necrosis in sickle cell disease: a description of three cases and a review of the literature.
Ataga KI, Orringer EP.
Am J Med Sci. 2000;320(5):342-7.
Most often seen in patients with leukemia and other malignant conditions, generalized BMN has also been observed in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), where it is almost certainly a consequence of blood vessel occlusion.

Priapism associated with asplenic state.
Atala A, Amin M, Harty JI, Liu YK, Keeling MM.
Urology. 1992;40(4):371-3.
Priapism may be primary (idiopathic) or secondary to sickle cell anemia, trauma, leukemia, drugs, venous thromboembolic diseases, and other less common disorders.

[Blackfan-Diamond disease and malignancy: cause effect relationships?].
Frappaz D, Richard O, Perrot S, Gautheron V, Elian JC, Freycon F.
Pediatrie. 1992;47(7-8):535-40.
A review of the literature shows an increased incidence of malignancies in Blackfan-Diamond syndrome (three cases of leukemia), and in similar disease (thalassemia and sickle cell disease), but not in other patients with hemosiderosis (primitive hemochromatosis, end-stage renal failure under dialysis).

The hemoglobinopathies (such as thalassemia, spherocytosis, and sickle cell disease), neoplastic diseases such as leukemia and lymphoma, and others, including myelofibrosis and osteitis fibrosa cystica, are associated with EMH.

Bone marrow transplantation in the treatment of sickle cell anemia.
Johnson FL.

Bone marrow transplantation in the treatment of sickle cell anemia.
Johnson FL.
Am J Pediatr Hematol Oncol. 1985;7(3):254-7.
The possibility of using bone marrow transplantation to treat selected patients with sickle cell anemia has recently been raised by the effectiveness of this approach in an 8-year-old girl suffering from both acute myeloblastic leukemia and sickle cell anemia.

Strokes in children.
Shillito J Jr.
Clin Neurosurg. 1976;23:185-219.
Children may be more susceptible to strokes because of congenital abnormalities such as congenital heart disease, hemophilia, and sickle cell anemia, or by diseases which more commonly occur in this age group, such as leukemia.
