Overview
- Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL) has a wide array of presentations. The onset is either acute or insidious. The degree of pancytopenia varies among patients.[1] Other features include fever, irritability, headache, fatigue, bone pain,[2] hepatosplenomegaly (HSM), and lymphadenopathy,[3][4] pallor, generalized pain, temporal swelling, bruising, and difficulty walking.[5]
- Greater than 50% of leukemia patients demonstrate skeletal features and are mostly related to the AMKL subtype.[6]
