Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation often represents the only solution for several poor-prognosis hematologic malignancies. The curative strategy for patients with synchronous hematologic disorders is always difficult and, in most cases, ineffective. Herein, we report an unusual case of synchronous hematologic disorders successfully treated with an “ad-hoc” conditioning regimen followed by allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation.
