Abstract
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is characterized by the presence of the t(15;17) translocation, resulting in the PML-RAR fusion protein. Standard treatment consists of the combination of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) with an anthracycline that results in complete remission (CR) rates in excess of 90%. Recently, several new agents have been shown to have clinical activity in APL. These include a liposomal formulation of ATRA (lipo-ATRA), and gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO). Herein, we report a patient with APL who relapsed with extramedullary disease 2.5 years after lipo-ATRA therapy and was successfully treated with the sequence of A2O3, ATRA, and GO and we summarize our experience with patients with isolated extramedullary relapse in APL.
