Abstract

Bilateral renal enlargement is a very rare manifestation as the primary presenting feature of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. We are reporting an unusual clinical picture of a 9-month-old male patient diagnosed as precusor B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia, who showed bilateral nephromegaly without any hepatosplenomegaly at the time of initial presentation.

소아에서 혈액암의 경우 간비종대 없이 신장 비대만을 보이는 경우는 매우 드물다. 저자들은 한 달간 급속히 진행하는 복부 팽만을 주소로 병원에 온 9개월 된 남아에서, 간비종대가 없이 양측 거대신 소견만을 보이는 급성 림프구성 백혈병을 경험하였기에 그 임상상을 보고하는 바이다.
