Abstract
Latar Belakang : Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) sebagian besar ditemukan pada kelompok usia
dewasa dengan rata-rata usia 65 tahun. Meskipun jarang, CML juga dapat terjadi pada usia anak-anak
dengan angka insiden rata - rata sebesar 2,5 kasus per juta orang pertahun di dunia. Di Indonesia
sendiri, kasus CML anak mencapai 2,7% dari total kasus kanker pada tahun 2020-2024.
Kasus : Kami melaporkan seorang anak perempuan berusia 15 tahun yang datang dengan keluhan
lemas sejak 3 hari sebelum dibawa ke rumah sakit dan sudah berulang 5 tahun terakhir ini. Keluhan
disertai rambut sering rontok, berat badan tidak naik, perut semakin membesar, kulit terlihat menghitam
setiap hari dan demam berulang tanpa sebab yang jelas. Dari alloanamnesis ditemukan paman pasien
mengalami keluhan serupa. Pemeriksaan fisik didapatkan kedua konjungtiva anemis dan splenomegali.
Pemeriksaan hematologi didapatkan anemia, leukositosis dengan sel blast 9% dan trombositosis. Hasil
pemeriksaan molekuler BCR ABL didapatkan positif dari fusi gen BCR ABL exon e14a2, sehingga
pasien di diagnosis sebagai chronic myeloid leukemia phase kronis. Pasien dirawat di rumah sakit serta
diberikan terapi cairan dan Imatinib.
Background : Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is primarily found in adults, with an average age of 65
years. Although rare, it can also occur in children, with an average incidence of 2.5 cases per million
people per year worldwide. In Indonesia, 2.7% of total cancer cases between 2020 and 2024 was
pediatric CML.
Case : We report a 15-year-old girl who came to hospital with complaints of weakness for three days
prior to hospitalization, which had recurred over the past five years. Associated symptoms included
frequent hair loss, no weight gain, abdominal distension, daily skin darkening, and recurrent fever
without a clear cause. Family history revealed similar complaints were found in the patient's uncle.
Physical examination showed conjunctival pallor and splenomegaly. Anemia, leukocytosis with 9% blast
cells, and thrombocytosis were found in hematological test. Molecular testing for BCR ABL fusion gene
was positive for BCR ABL exon e14a2, leading to a diagnosis of chronic myeloid leukemia at chronic
phase. The patient was hospitalized and was given fluid therapy and Imatinib
