Abstract

Autoimmune diseases (ADs) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) may be associated in approximately 10-20% of cases. Although this association has been well recognized, it is not always easily diagnosed. The exact physiopathological mechanism involved has yet to be determined but seems to be multifactorial. The therapeutic decision is not well codified and often represents a challenge. But overall, glucocorticosteroids have generally proven to be effective at the expense of a high incidence of dependence and relapse. This review aims to summarize and analyze all aspects of this association to provide an overview for practitioners and clinicians. A scientific search in databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar) was conducted using a combination of key words such as autoimmune diseases, myelodysplastic syndromes, and association. Articles from 1992 to 2022 were considered and relevant data were collected and summarized to provide a coherent detailed overview of the coexistence of ADs and MDS.
