Abstract
- Isolated extramedullary relapse of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with sparing of the marrow after allogeneic stem cell transplantation is not common. We report a 32-year-old female patient with isolated ovarian relapse of T-cell ALL 18 months after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. She had no evidence of concomitant relapse in the bone marrow.
