Abstract

Background: Acute Erythroid Leukemia (AEL) / Acute Myeloid Leukemia M6 (AML M6) is a rare disorder of hematopoietic system and accounts for 1-3% of acute leukemia and 15% of myeloid leukemia. It is characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of erythroblasts and myeloblasts. We report a case in a 70 year lady who presented with non classical symptoms and the diagnosis is based on purely peripheral smear, bone marrow findings and cytochemistry. The present case is a testament not only for rarity of disease but also a reminder that erythroleukemia can present in non-classical manner.

Keywords :Acute erythroid leukemia, AML M6, Erythroblasts, Prognosis, Cytochemistry
