AbstractThree pediatric patients with refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts (RARS) are presented. Bone marrow aspirates were examined using Romanowsky and Prussian blue iron stains in all three patients, and electron microscopic analysis was performed in one patient. All three patients had cytogenetic analysis of the bone marrow. Other studies included analysis of serum iron, total iron-binding capacity, ferritin, copper, vitamins B6 and B12, and folate levels. Antibody titers to Parvovirus, HIV, and other viruses were measured. The patients had contrasting clinical courses. Patients 1 rand 2 had dysplastic hematopoietic features and cytogenetic findings (with either partial or one allele loss of chromosome 7), suggestive of myelodysplastic syndrome. Patient 1 experienced acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and had a good response to AML-directed therapy. Patient 2 had prolonged cytopenias and underwent bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Patient 3 had features suggestive of refractory anemia associated with mitochondrial cytopathy, including normal cytogenetics with pronounced vacuolization of marrow precursors. His anemia regressed spontaneously a few months after diagnosis. These patients represent two subgroups of pediatric RARS. Patients with the myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) type may progress to cytopenias or leukemia and may require aggressive therapy; the type is characterized by clonal cytogenetic findings. The non-MDS type, which may relate to mitochondrial cytopathy, often shows spontaneous regression and requires only supportive treatment; it has normal cytogenetic findings.
