A 43-year-old man presenting with oral bleeding was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Induction chemotherapy consisting of all-trans retinoic acid and idarubicin was initiated, and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) was treated with fresh frozen plasma and recombinant thrombomodulin infusions. The patient was free from neurological symptoms throughout the clinical course. However, cerebral hemorrhagic lesions were detected incidentally on magnetic resonance imaging performed to screen for leukemic central nervous system invasion at 2 weeks after treatment initiation. Imaging findings suggested subacute or later-phase cerebral hemorrhage. Platelet transfusions and other supportive care was provided. Serial imaging evaluations confirmed reduction of the hemorrhagic lesions. Hematological remission was achieved after induction chemotherapy, and no symptoms due to cerebral hemorrhage developed during the subsequent consolidation therapy. As patients with APL characteristically experience hemorrhagic events due to bleeding tendency caused by DIC, physicians should be aware of the possibility of asymptomatic cerebral hemorrhage in these patients.
