摘要

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common pediatric hematological disease representing less than 1% of hematological diseases in adults. The prognosis of ALL improved significantly in the last decades. Almost all patients require a therapy at the time of diagnosis. Rare cases of spontaneous remission of ALL have been described. We report a case of B-ALL that underwent spontaneous remission after an episode of infection and describe the cytogenetic changes associated with this uncommon clinical presentation of B-ALL.
