Abstract

We report a case of arterial and venous thrombosis during induction therapy. This case emphasizes considering some degree of caution for thrombotic events in APL patients which was represented in our case as abdominal pain. Rapid initiation of anticoagulation and preventive measures is suggested for better management of the condition.

Keywords: acute abdominal pain; acute promyelocytic leukemia; all‐trans retinoic acid; thrombosis.
