Abstract
Introduction: Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is the most common paediatric cancer. The objective of our work is to focus on a haematological manifestation such as pancytopenia inaugurating the picture of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
Observation: 11-year-old AI, who has been reporting repeated anaemia and haemoglobinuria for 6 months. The clinical examination reveals an alteration of the general condition, severe mucocutaneous pallor, splenomegaly. The initial blood count showed pancytopenia. The diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia was confirmed by a myelogram requested in the presence of pancytopenia.
Conclusion: Through this observation, we report the clinical and biological manifestations of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, emphasizing the interest in eliminating haematological malignancy in the face of any pancytopenia.
