[Newly diagnosed non-acute promyelocytic leukemia combined with disseminated intravascular coagulation: a case report and literature review].

Objective

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is common in newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), with a high mortality rate. This case report focuses on a successful treatment of non-APL complicated with DIC, aiming to enhance clinical physicians' awareness and diagnostic skills in managing non-APL complicated by DIC.

Methods

The diagnosis and treatment of a non-APL patient with DIC was detailed and related literature was reviewed.

Results

With the help of early identification of DIC, chemotherapy and supportive treatment, the patient successfully recovered from DIC and achieved complete remission after induction therapy. He achieved long-term survival via subsequent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Conclusion

Non-APL patients with DIC are critically severe and early identification and timely intervention are necessary for them.
