We present the case of a 56-year-old man who presented with rhabdomyolysis and was found to have acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Our case is the first to show an association of rhabdomyolysis with AML. Although rhabdomyolysis is likely a very rare clinical presentation of AML, our case raises awareness for workup for AML in patients who present with rhabdomyolysis and other suspicious findings. Both conditions are medical emergencies and require immediate treatment.
我们报告了一例56岁男性患者，该患者出现横纹肌溶解症，后被诊断为急性髓系白血病（AML）。我们的病例是首例显示横纹肌溶解症与AML相关的病例。尽管横纹肌溶解症可能是AML非常罕见的临床表现，但我们的病例提高了对出现横纹肌溶解症及其他可疑症状的患者进行AML检查的认识。这两种情况均为医疗急症，需要立即治疗。
