title: Presentation of extramedullary acute myelogenous leukemia as bilateral testicular masses: response to non-myeloablative allogeneic transplantation.
abstract: We present an unusual case of extramedullary acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) presenting as bilateral testicular masses. The patient subsequently developed diffuse skin lesions and bone marrow involvement. Although he had only a partial response to intensive chemotherapy, the patient obtained a complete remission after non-myeloablative allogeneic transplantation.
