Figures & Tables

Figure 1

Computed tomography in a 89-years old patient with chronic myeloid leukemia showing a large abdominal mass (arrow) affecting the small bowel. Histological examination (not shown) after surgical biopsy confirms an extramedullary relapse of the known leukemia.

Figure 2

Magnetic resonance imaging findings in a 32-years old patient with known history of acute myeloid leukemia. Clinical presentation with headache. MRI documenting a large lesion in the left temporal lobe (arrows). On T1 weighted image it is slightly hypointense (A). After intravenous application of contrast medium, the lesion shows an inhomogenous enhancement (B). Histological examination (not shown) after surgical biopsy confirms an extramedullary relapse of the known leukemia.

Computed tomography of the thorax (A) and abdomen in portal venous phase (B) in a 54-years old patient with acute myeloid leukemia documenting multiple paravertebral and retroperitoneal enhancing masses (arrows). Additionally, pleural and pericardial effusions are seen.
