Article Title: Acute promyelocytic leukemia: A rare presentation without systemic disease
Abstract: Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a subtype of acute myeloid leukemia characterized by an abnormal proliferation of promyelocytes. It is often associated with an aggressive clinical presentation involving complex coagulopathies including disseminated intravascular coagulation, with a significant risk of bleeding and/or thrombosis if treatment with all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) is not rapidly initiated. Here we present a unique case of APL which was isolated to femoral bone lesions, without definitive evidence of peripheral blood or bone marrow involvement, and without systemic sequelae. © 2024 The Authors
