Musculoskeletal manifestations of acute leukemia
Abstract Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cause of malignancy in pediatric age. With the exception of musculoskeletal tumors, ALL is one of the malignancies most commonly associated with musculoskeletal symptoms at initial presentation. Some children with ALL are initially referred to Orthopedics for diagnostic evaluation, and a high index of clinical suspicion is required to avoid diagnostic delay. The authors report two cases of children initially diagnosed with a presumed osteoarticular infection, but whose clinical evolution led to the diagnosis of lymphoproliferative disease.
