  Skin Findings in the skin include the presence of petechiae ecchymosis due to thrombocytopenia and pallor due to anemia. It can result in leukocytoclastic vasculitis. [lecturio.com]

• Subcutaneous Nodule

  On examination, he was having abdominal distension with subcutaneous nodules, hepatosplenomegaly with liver 8 cm below the costal margin and spleen 6 cm below the costal margin, respiratory distress, and icterus [Figure 4], [Figure 5]. [jdrntruhs.org]

• Suggestibility

  Somatic mutations in the GATA1 transcription factor have been detected exclusively and almost uniformly in Down syndrome AMkL patients, suggesting a potential linkage to the chemotherapy sensitivity of Down syndrome megakaryoblasts. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

His initial workup, and the course of management and outcome, is described in detail. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

During his initial workup, he was found to have polymorph nuclear leukocytosis (total leukocyte count - 14,300/cmm) with thrombocytopenia (60,000/cmm) and marginally raised serum lactate dehydrogenase levels (234 IU/L) with his chest radiograph showing [marinemedicalsociety.in]

• X-Ray Abnormal

  Although the radiographic spectrum of bony changes in leukemia have been well characterized, skeletal X-ray abnormalities in the setting of AML M7 in pediatric patients have been described in few reports that were associated with bone marrow fibrosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Abnormal Bone Scan

  A case of acute megakaryocytic leukemia in a 13-month-old infant was encountered in whom an abnormal bone scan was associated with abnormal I-131 MIBG uptake in the femoral bone marrow. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

“In this study, we identified several genetic alterations that are important predictors of treatment success,” she said. [stjude.org]

These cases carry a poor prognosis. Another third of cases is found in Down syndrome. These cases have a reasonably fair prognosis. The last third of cases may be heterogeneous, and carry a poor prognosis. [checkorphan.org]

In conclusion, childhood acute megakaryoblastic leukemia is a rare and easily misdiagnosed disease with poor prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A patient’s prognosis depends on the cause of the illness. One third, or 33 percent, of children who are found to have a mutation of the T cells have a poor prognosis, One third of patients with Down’s syndrome have a better prognosis. [knowcancer.com]

Though the etiology of this complication remains unclear, our experience suggests that early institution of chemotherapy along with supportive care is the best treatment for control of hypercalcemia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
