Abstract

Objective Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common childhood cancer. In addition to complaints such as fatigue, bruising, bleeding, fever of unknown origin, non-specific bone, and joint pain may be the first sign. The purpose of this study, to determine the demographic characteristics, laboratory findings, and treatment results of patients presenting with bone and joint pain and to compare with ALL patients without bone joint pain, and to evaluate the radiological findings of patients with bone joint pain. Material and Methods Data of 163 patients who were diagnosed, treated and followed up with the diagnosis of ALL in the University of Health Sciences, Ankara City Hospital, Department of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology between January 2013 and June 2018 were evaluated retrospectively. A total of 33 patients presented with bone and joint complaints. The demographic features, laboratory findings, and recent status of all patients were examined retrospectively. Results There was no statistically significant difference between the patients with bone and joint complaints (Group I) and without bone and joint complaints (Group II) in terms of age, gender, and immunophenotyping (p> 0.05). The median white blood cell was lower, and the platelet value was higher in Group I at diagnosis (p <0.05). Positive findings were detected in seven (25%) patients with direct radiography. On radiographs; lytic lesions (n: 2), fracture-related height loss and osteoporosis (n: 1) in the vertebrae, nodular lesions (n:2) in the vertebrae, focal radiolucent appearance (n:2) were detected. Conclusion Bone-joint pain may be a critical presenting sign in patients with ALL, and pathological changes detected by imaging techniques may indicate hematological malignancies.

Özet

Amaç Akut lenfoblastik lösemi (ALL) en sık görülen çocukluk çağı kanseridir. Çabuk yorulma, morarma, kanama, sebebi bilinmeyen ateş gibi şikayetlerin yanı sıra; non-spesifik kemik ve eklem ağrısı ilk başvuru bulgusu olabilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; kemik ve eklem ağrısı şikayeti ile başvuran hastaların demografik özelliklerini, laboratuvar bulgularını ve tedavi sonuçlarını belirlemek, kemik eklem ağrısı olmayan ALL hastaları ile karşılaştırmak ve kemik-eklem ağrısı olan hastaların radyolojik bulgularını değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem Sağlık Bilimleri Üniversitesi Ankara Çocuk Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Çocuk Hematoloji Onkoloji Eğitim Araştırma Hastanesi Pediatrik Hematoloji Bilim Dalında, Ocak 2013 – Haziran 2018 tarihleri arasında ALL tanısı alan 163 hastanın dosyası retrospektif olarak incelendi. Kemik ve eklem yakınmaları ile başvuran 33 hasta tespit edildi. Kemik eklem yakınması olan hastalar; Grup I ve kemik eklem yakınması olmayan hastalar; Grup II olarak sınıflandırıldı. Tüm hastaların tanı sırasındaki demografik özellikleri, laboratuvar bulguları ve son durumları geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Bulgular Grup I ve Grup II’ de yer alan hastalar arasında yaş, cinsiyet, immünfenotiplendirme açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmadı (p>0,05).Grup I’de; ortanca başvuru beyaz küre değeri düşük ve trombosit değeri ise daha yüksek saptandı (p<0,05). Grup I’de yer alan 7 hastanın radyolojik incelemesinde (%25) patolojik bulgular saptandı. Direkt grafide; litik lezyonlar (n: 2), vertebralarda fraktüre bağlı yükseklik kaybı ve osteoporoz (n: 1), vertebralarda nodüler lezyon (n:2), fokal radyolüsen görünüm (n:2) tespit edildi. Sonuç Akut lenfoblastik lösemili hastalarda; kemik- eklem ağrısı önemli bir başlangıç bulgusu olabilir. Bu has- talarda; görüntüleme teknikleri ile saptanan patolojik değişikliklerin hematolojik malignitelere işaret edebileceği unutulmamalıdır.
