Acute megakaryocytic leukemia (AML M7) is a rare type of acute myelogenous leukemia in adults, commonly presenting with myelofibrosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Immune System
- Splenomegaly
Evaluate reduction in splenomegaly by palpation (MF arm only). IV. Evaluate improvement in MF symptoms (MF arm only), as assessed by the Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Symptom Assessment form (MPN-SAF). V. [clinicaltrials.gov]
The characteristic peripheral blood changes of anisopoikilocytosis, leukoerythroblastosis, and the presence of significant splenomegaly help in diagnosis. [ajmhs.org]
Ultrasound features indicative of TAM included hepatomegaly±splenomegaly (79.5%), hydrops fetalis (30.8%), pericardial effusion (23.1%) and aberrant liquor volume (15.4%). When performed, liver function tests were abnormal in 91.6% of cases. [doi.org]
There were enlarged adenopathies and splenomegaly. There was an important leukocytosis with anemia and thrombocytopenia. [dovepress.com]
Furthermore, our patient had only mild splenomegaly. Moderate or severe splenomegaly is common in blast crisis of CML [ 13, 16 ]. [jhoonline.biomedcentral.com]

The results indicated that the fever, hemorrhage, hepatosplenomegaly and lymphadenopathy in this case were the primary presentations accompanying by leukocytosis, anemia and thrombocytopenia. An adequate marrow aspirate could not be obtained. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Nonspecific symptoms may be irritability, weakness, and dizziness while specific symptoms include pallor, fever, mucocutaneous bleeding, hepatosplenomegaly, neurological manifestations and rarely lymphadenopathy. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

Case Report A 30-year-old male, serving soldier, resident of Ahmedabad and hailing from Karnataka, presented with a 1 week history of retrosternal pinpricking type of chest pain radiating to the back with acute-onset nonprogressive dyspnea on exertion [marinemedicalsociety.in]
As per mother, for the initial 14 days of life baby was doing well, thereafter mother noticed swelling over the face and abdomen of the baby followed by dyspnea within a course of 7 days. Newborn was taken to a primary care physician. [jdrntruhs.org]
She was hospitalized for high fever and dyspnea after 40 days. Hemoglobin was 90 g/L. White blood cell count was 19 × 10 9 /L, with 21% blast cells. Relapse was established with bone marrow smear. [jhoonline.biomedcentral.com]
Jaw & Teeth

Marked elevations of LDH is seen in CNS involvement Oropharynx Monocytic subtypes typically show the presence of gingival hypertrophy. Organomegaly Lymphadenopathy is rare in AML. It is characterized by the absence of hepatomegaly and splenomegaly. [lecturio.com]
Liver, Gall & Pancreas
- Hepatosplenomegaly
The twins presented at 2 months of age with fever and poor feeding and subsequently developed progressive hepatosplenomegaly. [journals.lww.com]
The results indicated that the fever, hemorrhage, hepatosplenomegaly and lymphadenopathy in this case were the primary presentations accompanying by leukocytosis, anemia and thrombocytopenia. An adequate marrow aspirate could not be obtained. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Nonspecific symptoms may be irritability, weakness, and dizziness while specific symptoms include pallor, fever, mucocutaneous bleeding, hepatosplenomegaly, neurological manifestations and rarely lymphadenopathy. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
In children, there may be some association with t(1;22); these cases have distinct clinical features, including hepatosplenomegaly, and histologic features of a stromal pattern of marrow infiltration mimicking a metastatic tumor. [path.upmc.edu]
Eyes
- Lacrimation
(a) Chloroma, 2 cm × 0.8 cm, involving left lacrimal gland in superior peri-orbital space of with extension into upper eyelid. [asjo.in]
Skin
- Petechiae
DS-AML in newborn usually presents with nodular skin infiltrates (bluish, fibroma-like tumors, leukemia cutis), hepatosplenomegaly, lethargy, poor feeding, pallor, purpura/petechiae, respiratory distress. [4] Most Down's syndrome AML are of AML-M7 (DS-AMKL [jdrntruhs.org]
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]
Workup
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]
Serum
- Erythroblast
Notably, some other immature erythroblast morphologies were observed in the workshop cases. In case 290, the immature erythroblasts were pleomorphic and anaplastic ( Image 3 ). [doi.org]
Conclusion The current study concluded that α-synuclein is expressed in erythroblasts, megakaryoblasts, mature erythroid cells, and megakaryocytes in normal bone marrow and in patients with AML. [ijp.iranpath.org]

The peroxidase activity is confined to the nuclear membrane and rough endoplasmic reticulum, but is not specific to megakaryocytes and can be seen in erythroblasts and mast cells. [path.upmc.edu]

- Leukopenia
Peripheral smear revealed severe anemia, leukopenia with occasional circulating blasts and a normal platelet count. [ajmhs.org]
In case 271, a patient receiving ribavirin and interferon for hepatitis C developed macrocytic anemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia; BM examination revealed striking erythroid hyperplasia and severe dyserythropoiesis ( Image 4B ). [doi.org]
Laboratory
- Leukocytosis
The results indicated that the fever, hemorrhage, hepatosplenomegaly and lymphadenopathy in this case were the primary presentations accompanying by leukocytosis, anemia and thrombocytopenia. An adequate marrow aspirate could not be obtained. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Clinical features include presentation in the neonatal period (10% of newborn infants with Down syndrome), marked leukocytosis, blast percentage in the blood greater than 30% to 50%, and extramedullary involvement. [wiki.clinicalflow.com]
In view of persistent thrombocytopenia and a peripheral blood smear showing leukocytosis with blasts (high N/C ratio, sieve-like chromatin and 1–2 nucleoli) and thrombocytopenia ( [Figure 2] we performed a bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. [marinemedicalsociety.in]
The hematologic examination revealed important leukocytosis at 120×10 3 /μL with 80% blasts ( Figure 1 ), moderate anemia (9 g/dL Hb) and moderate thrombocytopenia (45×10 3 /μL) as well as schistocytes. [dovepress.com]
Treatment
We conclude that these genetic aberrations may be used for risk group stratification of pediatric AMKL and for treatment tailoring. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Patients were treated with different treatment protocols according to their respective study group. [doi.org]

Prognosis
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]
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]
Etiology
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]
