Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia

specific

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a distinct subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and it is treated differently than other types of AML because of its marked sensitivity to differentiating effects of all trans-retinoic acid. APL is characterized by a severe coagulopathy which may be present at diagnosis. APL occurs in 7 % of children with AML.
