Shehab Mohamed: A Systematic Review on Bleeding as Initial Presentation of CML

Shehab Mohamed, Hematologist at Hamad Medical Corporation, shared on LinkedIn about a recent article by Mohammad ALTermanini et al, published in Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis, adding:

”Continuing our work in myeloid neoplasms and hemostasis

We are proud to share our latest progress in this evolving field.

After previously exploring:

  • Bleeding in acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
  • Thrombosis in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL)
  • We now expand our work with a new systematic review on bleeding as the initial presentation of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).

Key findings from our review:

  • 53 reported cases identified across the literature
  • Strong male predominance (74%)
  • Median age: 45 years

Central nervous system bleeding was the most common presentation (40%), followed by:

  • Soft tissue hematomas (25%)
  • Visceral/splenic bleeding (19%)
  • Most patients presented with marked hyperleukocytosis

Despite severity:

  • 62% survived
  • 21% mortality, mainly due to intracranial hemorrhage or splenic rupture

Key message: Bleeding can be the first manifestation of CML – and should not be overlooked, especially in patients presenting with unexplained hemorrhage and extreme leukocytosis.

This work highlights:

  • The complex interplay between malignancy and hemostasis
  • The need for early recognition
  • The importance of multidisciplinary management

We are excited to keep pushing forward in this field with our team – more to come.”
