Introduction: Acute promyelocytic leukemia (AML-M3), classified as acute Myeloid leukemia with PML RARA according to the 5th edition of the World Health Organization classification of haematolymphoid tumors 2022 [1], is marked by abnormal promyelocyte proliferation and is known for high risks of bleeding and thromboembolic complications. We present a case where lower limb ischemia revealed this leukemia in a child.
Case Report: An 11-year-old with minor ankle trauma developed severe lower limb ischemia, leading to the discovery of subtotal femoral artery thrombosis.
