Malignant infiltration of peripheral nerves in the course of acute myelomonoblastic leukaemia: neuropathological study of two cases

A Vital et al. Neuropathol Appl Neurobiol. 1993 Apr.

Abstract

Two patients suffering from acute myelomonoblastic leukaemia developed clinical evidence of peripheral nerve involvement. In both cases, a peripheral nerve biopsy revealed endoneurial cellular infiltrates which were identified as leukaemic cells by immunocytochemistry. Ultrastructural studies showed mainly axonal damage. Moreover, in one patient, a few features of active demyelination were also observed.
