Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A patient with nonfamilial peripheral neurofibromatosis (NF) (von Recklinghausen's disease) is reported who contracted acute monocytic leukemia at 60 years of age. In the course of the illness, myelonecrosis developed and the patient died 4 months later due to a therapy-resistant bone marrow relapse. This association of the two illnesses would appear to confirm reports on an increased incidence of nonlymphatic leukemia and NF. Such an association is seen during childhood as juvenile chronic leukemia, but it is uncommon in adulthood. |
