Abstract

Acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APML) is known to present with disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) but as a Corpus luteal cyst hemorrhage however, it is rarely seen at presentation. This case is the first to describe a patient with APML who presented with ruptured corpus luteum without ovarian tissue infiltration with blasts, leading to hemoperitoneum posing as life threatening acute abdominal emergency in a woman belonging to child bearing age. The case is a singular case where APL has presented in such a rare manner.
