CSF FC detects CNS disease in ALL patients at diagnosis at a rate double than CP alone and is statistically associated with an elevated LDH level. It should be incorporated in the evaluation of CSF to detect CNS involvement.

Our data reflects that APL remains a highly curable malignancy with good response to ATRA plus anthracycline based chemotherapy even with a greater number of high and intermediate risk patients. Only DIC during induction chemotherapy bore an impact on survival in our patients.

Forty-five years old male, a known case of T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) on maintenance therapy presented with bilateral painless progressive diminution of vision. Evaluation revealed cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis with low CD4

Incidence of APLA in Indian population was lower than reported in the West, which indicates that not all patients of ITP need to be subjected to these manifestations upfront at diagnosis.

A middle aged man presented with abdominal pain and fever, with progressive dyspnea for the past one week. He had generalized lymphadenopathy with hepatosplenomegaly and a left sided pleural effusion on admission. Further evaluation revealed that he had lymphocytosis on peripheral blood. He then developed increasing abdominal pain and fall in hemoglobin which was confirmed on imaging to be due to a splenic rupture and he underwent a splenectomy. The diagnosis on lymph node biopsy and peripheral blood immunophenotyping was grade 1 follicular lymphoma. He has completed his 6 cycles of chemotherapy (R-CVP) and is on maintenance rituximab and doing well. The case highlights the fact that splenic rupture can even be caused by indolent lymphomas.
