ABSTRACT
We report the first case of orbital myxoma in a 10-year-old girl with a history of acute myelomonocytic leukemia diagnosed at the age of 10 months. She presented with a mass in the right orbit, which was excised completely. There was no recurrence during the 6 months of follow-up.

We report on a 52-year-old patient with acute myeloid leukemia. After induction chemotherapy, routine ultrasound displayed a round focal hyperechoic intrasplenic lesion. Tumor was primarily misdiagnosed for splenic hemangioma. Diagnosis of spontaneous progredient splenic rupture was made by color-coded Doppler sonography, sonographic follow-up examinations and confirmed by splenectomy for final treatment. No trauma was found.

Photopenic areas on bone scintigraphy is a rare presentation of childhood leukemia. This includes the more common acute lymphocytic leukemia as well as the far less common myelomonocytic leukemia. Other causes of photopenia on bone scintigraphy in these patients include relapse with marrow replacement and associated bone necrosis. Methotrexate therapy has also previously been described as showing similar photopenic areas secondary to bone necrosis.

Combined clinico-roentgenological investigations of the thoracic organs, spleen, bone and lymphatic systems (using low lymphography) were conducted in 123 patients with acute leukemia. Clinico-roentgenological variants of acute leukemia have been distinguished, they differ in the organs and systems affected, in the process spreading by the lymphatic routes+, in the clinical course pattern and response to the treatment. Clinico-roentgenological variants of acute leukemia have shown that different pathogenetic mechanisms may act in the same cytomorphologic type of the disease. They should be taken into consideration in classification of acute leukemia.
