A rare case of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) led to leukemic hypopyon, affecting the anterior chamber and central nervous system. Standard chemotherapy showed limited efficacy for this extramedullary leukemia complication.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is a hematologic malignancy.
  • Extramedullary infiltration, while known in AML, can manifest in rare sites.
  • Ocular involvement in leukemia, particularly hypopyon, requires careful consideration.

Observation:

  • A patient with AML presented with leukemic hypopyon after initial remission.
  • Leukemic cells infiltrated the anterior chamber and central nervous system.
  • Initial extramedullary spread involved the pharynx, gingiva, lymph nodes, and bone marrow.

Findings:

  • Despite achieving complete remission from bone marrow disease, the patient developed blurred vision and hypopyon.
  • Anterior chamber paracentesis confirmed leukemic infiltration.

  • The patient did not achieve prolonged remission with systemic, intrathecal, and local chemotherapy.

    • Implications:

    • Current chemotherapy regimens may be inadequate for managing anterior chamber infiltration in AML.
    • Leukemic hypopyon in AML is a rare complication associated with extramedullary disease.
    • Further research is needed to develop effective treatment strategies for ocular leukemia.
