We report two cases that presented with unexplained acute renal failure and hyperuricemia and were subsequently diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The patients improved with conservative therapy without the need for dialysis. Case 1 is the youngest case of acute lymphoblastic leukemia with spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome reported to date, and Case 2 presented with spontaneous ...

Acute polyneuropathy in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia is extremely rare, but its onset and association with Guillain-Barré syndrome presents a diagnostic challenge. We report a 5-year-old boy who presented with inability to walk during induction chemotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Subsequently he developed painful penile erections, difficulty urinating and swallowing. Be...

Acute leukemia, the most common form of cancer in children, accounts for approximately 30% of all childhood malignancies, with acute lymphoblastic leukemia being five times more frequent than acute myeloid leukemia. Lineage switch is the term that has been used to describe the phenomenon of acute leukemias that meet the standard French-American-British system criteria for a particular lineage (...

Background: While numerous studies have addressed the outcome of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in western developed countries, there is a scarcity data developing countries. This study explores hematological predictors outcomes Duhok city- Kurdistan Iraq.

Discrete diagnostic subtypes of T lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, T-ALL) have historically not been widely recognized. Recently, a novel subset with distinctive immunophenotypic, molecular, and clinical features has been proposed. Termed early T-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ETP-ALL), these cases seem to correspond to a very early st...

An accurate method of classification of the surface membrane characteristics of blast cells from patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia would allow a more definitive study of the nature of this disease. Monoclonal antibodies have been produced to the surface antigens of leukemic blasts form a patient with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Two antibodies of interest were obtained from ...

Behcet’s disease is an inflammatory disorder characterized by recurrent oral aphthous ulcers, genital ulcers, uveitis, and skin lesions. A few cases of hematologic disease in patients with Behcet’s disease have been reported in the literature. However, acute precursor T cell lymphoblastic leukemia has never been described in association with Behcet’s disease. We recently encountered a case of a...

ABSTRACT Secondary acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (sALL), defined as acute lymphoblastic leukaemia following another malignancy, irrespective of previous treatment, is a rare disease, and its biological characteristics have not been accurately described. We report the case of a 24-year old patient followed for Hodgkin's lymphoma at our clinic, who develops and is diagnosed, less than a year afte...
