Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) can present with extramedullary disease, though ocular involvement is infrequent.
  • Understanding the spectrum of AML manifestations is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • A case of acute myeloid leukemia in an adult patient presented with unusual ocular manifestations.
  • Specific observations included exudate in the anterior chamber and infiltrates of the conjunctiva, eyeball, and eyelids.

Findings:

  • The described ocular infiltrates represent a rare complication of acute myeloid leukemia.
  • The patient's condition, including ocular involvement, was effectively managed through a combination of chemotherapy and local radiotherapy.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering ocular involvement in patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
  • Prompt diagnosis and multimodal treatment (chemotherapy and radiotherapy) can lead to successful control of these rare leukemic complications in the eye.
