Leukemia is the most common childhood malignancy and often presents with nonspecific symptoms. Occasionally, it presents with extramedullary manifestations, which have been more frequent in cases of myeloid lineage or T cells. However, precursor B-cell leukemia/lymphoblastic lymphoma can also have extramedullary manifestations in some patients. Describing certain clinical features along with diagnostic imaging can establish a presentation pattern and suggest a diagnosis in the pediatric population. Herein, we present a series of four patients with extramedullary manifestations of B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia, describing their clinical imaging and histopathological characteristics.
白血病是儿童最常见的恶性肿瘤,常表现为非特异性症状。偶尔,它会出现髓外表现,在髓系或T细胞病例中更为常见。然而,前驱B细胞白血病/淋巴细胞淋巴瘤在一些患者中也可能有髓外表现。描述某些临床特征并结合诊断性影像学检查可以建立一种表现模式,并为儿科患者提示诊断。在此,我们报告了4例B细胞淋巴细胞白血病髓外表现的病例系列,描述了它们的临床影像学和组织病理学特征。
