| Abstract |
|
We described the imaging features of four cases with acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML). In our cases, common findings were organomegaly, periportal infiltration and lymphadenopathy. Predominant findings individual each case were soft tissue tumors in the orbit and the facial subcutaneous region in case 1, multiple osteolytic lesions in case 2, organomegaly in the abdomen in case 3, and cerebral vascular lesions in case 4. We conclude that CT is useful for whole body screening, and MRI is effective in demonstrating musculoskeletal and central nervous system lesions for deciding a biopsy site or therapeutic strategy. |
