Abstract
- Spontaneous remission of acute leukemia is a rare event and has been documented in cases of systemic infection and blood transfusion. Furthermore spontaneous remission in association with the termination of pregnancy is also rare and hormonal effects during the puerperium have been implicated. We report here a case of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML, M5) diagnosed in a young woman after Cesarean section delivery who acheived spontaneous remission and relapsed 2 weeks later with leukemia cutis.
