Abstract

We report a case of acute mixed lineage leukemia with both lymphoid and myeloid lineage characteristics (ANLL with Til) in a twelve-year-old girl who presented with fever and multiple petechiae. Bone marrow remission was obtained by treatment with acute lymphoid leukemia regiman (CCSG 106A). During induction chemotherapy, the patient was complicated by intestinal perforation due to neutropenic enterocolitis but recovered by surgical intervention and intensive supportive therapy.
