Acute Myelomonocytic Leukemia
Acute Myelomonocytic Leukemias

Presentation

Granulocytic sarcoma can be the presenting feature of acute leukemia and can occur as an abdominal or pelvic mass. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Immune System

  • Splenomegaly

    We report a case in a 27-year-old man with leukocytosis (10.6 x 10(3)/microL with 34% blasts), thrombocytopenia and splenomegaly. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    The clinical and morphologic features that prompted us to consider an uncommon evolution from a myeloproliferative neoplasm were massive splenomegaly and peripheral basophilia. [ijpmonline.org]

    Initially asymptomatic, CML progression is insidious, with a nonspecific “benign” stage (malaise, anorexia, weight loss) eventually giving way to accelerated or blast phases with more ominous signs, such as splenomegaly, pallor, easy bruising and bleeding [msdmanuals.com]

    Patients may show symptoms related to cytopenias and hypercatabolic state with splenomegaly. [medigraphic.com]

    Clinical findings: Individuals with CML present with splenomegaly (enlarged spleen); elevated white blood counts exceeding 300,000- 600,000 cells/ μL; and retinas showings papilledema, venous obstruction, and hemorrhages. [secure.ssa.gov]

  • Generalized Lymphadenopathy

Entire Body System

  • Fever

    A 65-year-old Japanese woman developed low grade fever, headache and exanthema. Hematology testing disclosed leukocytosis of 95,600/mm3 with 65% monocytes and 9% blast cells. Infiltrated erythema and nodules were disseminated over most of her body. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    If infection is suspected or neutropenia and/or fever is present: broad-spectrum antibiotics (see: neutropenic fever ) In case of lymphopenia : PCP prophylaxis with SMP/TMX Herpes simplex prophylaxis with acyclovir may be necessary. [amboss.com]
