Patterns of bone marrow involvement with small cell lung cancer.

The extent of tumor involvement, necrosis, reticulin, and megakaryocytosis were assessed in 25 patients with small cell lung cancer in their bone marrow at diagnosis. The pattern of marrow involvement was compared with clinical outcome and tolerance of therapy. Any marrow involvement, no matter how minor, is a poor prognostic factor. Neither more extensive involvement, nor greater marrow fibrosis significantly worsened the prognosis.

Central nervous system involvement as a presenting feature of acute monocytic leukemia: preceding leukemia by 12 months.

This report describes a patient who presented with a diffuse malignant central nervous system (CNS) process composed of cells with monocytic differentiation one year before the development of acute monocytic leukemia. A similar presentation has been documented for acute lymphocytic leukemia, but to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to detail a diffuse CNS malignancy as the presenting symptom for acute monocytic leukemia.
