A patient with acute monocytic leukemia who developed bone marrow necrosis following induction chemotherapy is presented. Although the bone marrow necrosis was extensive, recovery occurred, along with complete remission of leukemia. Severe bone marrow necrosis in this setting may be reversible, and continued vigorous supportive care for these patients should be strongly considered.
本文报告了一名急性单核细胞白血病患者,其在诱导化疗后发生了骨髓坏死。尽管骨髓坏死范围广泛,但患者仍实现了恢复,并伴有白血病完全缓解。在这种情况下,严重的骨髓坏死可能是可逆的,因此应强烈考虑对这些患者持续给予积极的支持治疗。
