Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Presenting with Right Atrial Thrombosis and Massive Pulmonary Embolism: A Case Report

Abstract

Thrombosis is a rare complication of acute lymphoblastic leukemia usually occurring following chemotherapy. The most common reported site is intracranial thrombosis. We reported a case of acute lymphoblastic leukemia with right atrial thrombosis and pulmonary embolism at diagnosis. This diagnosis is important as it can greatly contribute to morbidity and mortality in acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients.
