Extensive fibrosis in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) is relatively infrequent and associated with worst prognosis. It hasbeen classified as a specific entity by WHO. Moreover, the incidence and prevalence of Myelodyplastic Syndromes in children and adolescents is very low. Herein, we report a case of a 17 years old boy diagnosed as myelodysplastic syndrome with fibrosis along with ofmonosomy 7. Data pertaining relationship between myelodysplastic syndrome with fibrosis and karyotype abnormalities is relatively sparse. This case report will assist in considering better risk adapted therapies.
