Hypercalcaemia with disseminated osteolytic lesions: a rare presentation of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) presenting with hypercalcaemia and lytic bone lesions is a rare event in children unlike adults. We report a 15-year-old boy with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and hypercalcaemia. He had normal peripheral blood count and the peripheral smear did not show blast. The bone marrow examination revealed Pre B ALL phenotype with aberrant expression of CD13. The skeletal survey showed osteolytic lesions. Hypercalcaemia was treated with zoledronic acid. He attained remission only after three lines of intensive chemotherapy protocols. He was planned for stem cell transplant. Meanwhile, he relapsed and died. A review of the literature also highlights characteristics similar to our case.

Hypercalcaemia and multiple osteolytic lesions in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
A 12 year old boy presenting with hypercalcaemia (calcium 3.25 mmol/l) and osteopaenia with multiple osteolytic lesions was found to have acute lymphoblastic leukaemia without lymph-adenopathy or organomegaly. Hypercalcaemia is a rare feature of acute leukaemia, but the patients previously described all show very similar characteristics, which were highlighted in this patient. These include age...

Two young adults presenting with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) associated with hypercalcaemia and osteolytic lesions were both found to have T cell ALL. Hypercalcaemia is a rare feature of ALL and has not previously been related to T cell disease. Both cases, in some respects, resembled (age between 10 and 20 years and low white cell count) the few other previously reported cases. In one ...

Gene variants of CYP1A1 and CYP2D6 and the risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia; outcome of a case control study from Kashmir, India
Studies on associations of various polymorphisms in xenobiotic metabolizing genes with different cancers including acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) are mixed and inconclusive. The current study analyzed the relationship between polymorphisms of phase I xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes, cytochromes P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) and CYP2D6 and childhood ALL in Kashmir, India. We recruited 200 confirmed ALL...
