[Tumorous form of acute myeloid leukemia (author's transl)].
The author describes a rare tumorous form of acute myeloid leukemia in a boy aged 4 and a half years. It appeared as unobtrusive swelling of the left upper lid and led to the diagnosis of leukemia. After the beginning of cytostatic therapy the swelling disappeared. In the preterminal state an excessive protrusio of the left globe occured which made the closure of the lid impossible. The right eye was never involved.
