UNUSUAL CLINICAL PRESENTATION OF RELAPSE IN PATIENT WITH ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA.

Abstract

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is a disease, which is more common in children. We report a clinical case of a patient aged 25. Thirty-two months before his last admission in Hematology clinic, acute pre- B lymphoblastic leukemia had been diagnosed and treated till March 2012. In September 2013 after bone marrow aspiration, flow cytometric analysis, trepan biopsy and biopsy of the kidney had been carried out, the patient was diagnosed with first late relapse, involving bone marrow and kidney. A second remission was achieved using Berlin- Frankfurt– Munster chemotherapy [BFM] and allogenic stem cell transplantation was performed.
