Aphthous ulcerations associated with trisomy 8–positive myelodysplastic syndrome - 19/08/11
Chicago, Illinois
Abstract |
The association of Behçet’s disease with myelodysplastic syndromes has been established in the hematologic, gastrointestinal, and medical genetics literature; trisomy 8 is a feature present in 70% of these reports.

We describe a patient with recurrent aphthous stomatitis who was subsequently diagnosed with trisomy 8–positive myelodysplastic syndrome after an unexplained macrocytosis was further investigated.
