    Isolated extramedullary relapse (IEMR) of acute leukemia (AL) after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a rare occurrence. It is seen more commonly after BMT than after conventional chemotherapy (CHT) alone. We describe the natural history and response to treatment in four patients with IEMR following allogeneic BMT. The results indicate a stronger graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect in the marrow than in the peripheral tissues (Fig. 4, Ref. 13). Full Text (Free, PDF) www.bmj.sk.
