Is this MDS or not?
My husband recently received the results of his bone marrow biopsy and aspiration. The doctor said there was no leukemia or preleukemia, and everything was fine. I asked for a copy of the report on the way out. The first sentence of the final pathological diagnosis is: Normocellular bone marrow with relative erythroid hyperplasia and dyserythropoiesis suggestive of myelodysplastic syndrome.
It is also noted: there is morphological evidence of dyserythropoiesis suggesting a possible myelodysplastic syndrome. However, no increase in blasts is noted and an MDS FISH panel is negative.
I can provide more information if necessary, but based on these two sentences, what is your interpretation?
