title: [Pseudo-acute surgical abdomen and acute leukemia].
abstract: The so-called pseudo-acute abdomen has been reported in acute leukemia, both at diagnosis or relapse. The clinical presentation may be misleading and life-threatening, due to the possible infiltration of any abdominal viscera. The authors present a series of eight patients and emphasize the management specificities of such patients and the possibility of long-term remissions, regardless of the severity of the initial presentation.
