Özet
Akut miyeloid löseminin (AML) bir parçası olarak ekstramedüller lösemik tutulum nadir bir durum değildir. Ancak AML’ye bağlı infiltratif periferik nötropati nadiren bildirilmiştir. Burada, relaps AML’li bir hastada brakiyal pleksusun ekstramedüller lösemik infiltrasyonu vakasını sunuyoruz.
Abstract
Extramedullary leukaemic involvement is not uncommon as part of the presentation in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). However, infiltrative peripheral neuropathy due to AML was rarely reported. We report a case of extramedullary leukaemic infiltration of the brachial plexus in a patient with relapsed AML.
