Figure 1. Gingival Hypertrophy in Myelomonocytic Leukemia.
A 36-year-old woman with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia had marked gingival hypertrophy, thought to be due to infiltration of the gingiva by leukemic cells. The patient presented with a white-cell count of 28,800 per cubic millimeter, with 23 percent monocytes and 2 percent monoblasts, a hematocrit of 20 percent, and a platelet count of 156,000 per cubic millimeter. Treatment with etoposide, idarubicin, and cytarabine resulted in a clinical remission, with resolution of the gingival lesions.
