Article Synopsis
- Bone marrow necrosis (BMN) is a rare condition often presenting with bone pain, fever, and decreased blood cell counts, and it is an unusual presentation in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL).
- A 22-year-old male experienced symptoms like lower back pain and fever for two weeks, leading to extensive investigations that revealed severe neutropenia and extensive necrosis in his bone marrow biopsies.
- The diagnosis of ALL was complicated due to the presence of only a few immature lymphoid cells amidst the necrosis, highlighting the rarity and diagnostic challenges of combining BMN with ALL.
