Ovarian disease in childhood lymphoblastic leukaemia

Acta Haematologica
P J Wyld, J S Lilleyman

Abstract

A 3-year-old child is described with an ovarian relapse arising 2 years after starting treatment for 'common' lymphoblastic leukaemia. This, considered with previously described cases, suggests that ovarian disease can arise as a late complication in girls without poor prognostic features at diagnosis, and may be associated with meningeal infiltration.
