Abstract
We describe two patients who showed a very similar, but atypical cours e of acute myelogenous leukemia. They demonstrated skin nodules, spina l fluid and CNS involvement whereas bone marrow and blood remained cle ar. Nonetheless both had cytogenetic findings of trisomy 8 in the marr ow and were resistant to a combination of cytarabine, idarubicin, flud arabine, and granulocyte-colony stimulating factor.
