[Treatment of acute hypergranular promyelocytic leukemia with all-trans-retinoic acid].
Two patients with relapsed hyper-granular promyelocytic leukemia were treated with all-trans-retinoic acid. Both obtained complete remission with minimal transfusion requirements, no haemorrhagic complications or serious infections, and involving short periods of hospitalization. This course of events corresponds well with previously published information from larger patient materials, which are also discussed in the article.
