Abstract:
Acute promyelocytic leukaemia presenting with bony lesions alongside medullary involvement is rare with anecdotal reports having noted this manifestation in a newly diagnosed case. We here report an infrequent presentation of a young adult male presenting solely with multiple axial and pelvic bone lesions initially, with the initial impression being a lymphoma /infiltrative lesion. This is a case report that reiterates the need for prompt diagnosis and a thorough evaluation for early treatment, especially since this is a curable malignancy.
