title: Late extramedullary relapse following bone marrow transplant for AML presenting as acute renal failure and leukemic ascites.
abstract: A 22-year-old woman with AML in remission for 3.5 years after BMT relapsed with extramedullary disease presenting as leukemic ascites and recurrent obstructive renal failure. The duration of remission post-transplant and the absence of bone marrow involvement may suggest an improved likelihood of response to further chemotherapy.
