[Childhood acute lymphoid leukemia relapsing in adult age?].

A 30-years-old woman developed an acute lymphoblastic leukemia 16 years after a successfully treated childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The developed second malignancy unexpectedly seemed identical to her previous malignant disease. That's why and because of the literature doesn't mention acute lymphoblastic leukemia as a second neoplasm after an acute lymphoblastic leukemia we considered the disease unusual late relaps of the original childhood malignancy.
