Abstract

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) usually presents with cytopenias because of bone marrow failure. Solid organ infarcts in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is rarest complication. We report an elderly male, admitted with complaints of pain abdomen mainly in both flanks and swelling all over the body. Peripheral blood smear, bone marrow aspirate for cytology were suggestive of myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS) with refractory anaemia. Fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH) were negative for any chromosomal abnormalities. His CECT abdomen was done which revealed hepatosplenomegaly with hyperdense liver with multiple splenic and renal infarcts and patient was treated as a case of MDS with refractory anaemia with solid organ infarcts. Over a period of 3 days, he had Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). Patient succumbed on fifth day.
