Hypocellular acute myeloid leukemia with bone marrow necrosis in young patients: two case reports

INTRODUCTION: Hypocellular variants of acute myeloid leukemia are very rare and almost always occur in old aged patients. In contrast, hypocellular acute lymphoblastic leukemia usually occurs in children. CASE PRESENTATION: We report two Indian patients with hypocellular acute myeloid leukemia, a 32...

description INTRODUCTION: Hypocellular variants of acute myeloid leukemia are very rare and almost always occur in old aged patients. In contrast, hypocellular acute lymphoblastic leukemia usually occurs in children. CASE PRESENTATION: We report two Indian patients with hypocellular acute myeloid leukemia, a 32-year-old woman and a 13-year-old boy. Interestingly, one of the patients also showed bone marrow necrosis. CONCLUSION: Hypocellular acute myeloid leukemia is a rare entity and can affect young individuals. It can be considered as a rare cause of bone marrow necrosis.
