Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, gingival enlargement. Abstract Most of the systemic diseases manifest signs and symptoms in oral cavity. Periodontal lesions are common in patients with acute leukemia throughout the course of the disease. Although many cases of gingival enlargement in patients with acute myeloid leukemia have been reported in literature, cases of gingival h...

Myeloid sarcomas are extramedullary solid tumors composed of immature granulocytic precursor cells. In association with acute myeloid leukemia and other myeloproliferative disorders, they may arise concurrently with compromised bone marrow related to acute myeloid leukemia, as a relapsed presentation, or occur as the first manifestation. The testicles are considered to be an uncommon site for m...

The online version of this article has a Supplementary Appendix. Background Protein phosphatase 2A is a novel potential therapeutic target in several types of chronic and acute leukemia, and its inhibition is a common event in acute myeloid leukemia. Upregulation of SET is essential to inhibit protein phosphatase 2A in chronic myeloid leukemia, but its importance in acute myeloid leukemia has n...

Daily injections of somatostatin into mice with myeloid leukemia retarded the tumor growth. This myeloid leukemia is an insulin-dependent tumor (in that it grows more slowly in hypoinsulinemic diabetic mice than in nondiabetic animals). Since somatostatin decreased the level of immunoreactive insulin in mice with myeloid leukemia, and since the treatment with insulin abrogated the antileukemic ...

Viral infections especially herpes virus and varicella zoster are common complications in patients with hematologic malignancies. The spectrum of infectious during after dasatinib therapy not known. I report here recurrent labialis two chronic myeloid leukemia cases treated dasatinib.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia of adults in the western world and constitutes about 33% of all leukemia's. The incidence of CLL increases with age and are more common in older population. Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) on the contrary occurs in both young adults and elderly and is a chronic myeloproliferative disease that originates from abnormal pluripotent stem...

Acute leukemia, the most common form of cancer in children, accounts for approximately 30% of all childhood malignancies, with acute lymphoblastic leukemia being five times more frequent than acute myeloid leukemia. Lineage switch is the term that has been used to describe the phenomenon of acute leukemias that meet the standard French-American-British system criteria for a particular lineage (...

Children with Down syndrome have an increased risk for developing both acute myeloid as well as lymphoblastic leukemia. These leukemias differ in presenting characteristics and underlying biology when compared with leukemias occurring in non-Down syndrome children. Myeloid leukemia in children with Down syndrome is preceded by a preleukemic clone (transient leukemia or transient myeloproliferat...

Leukocyte differentiation antigens often represent important markers for the diagnosis, classification, prognosis, and therapeutic targeting of myeloid leukemia. Herein, we report a potential leukocyte differentiation antigen gene VSTM1 (V-set and transmembrane domain-containing 1) that was downregulated in bone marrow cells from leukemia patients and exhibited a higher degree of promoter methy...
