Two Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia Cases Concomitant with Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis and Review of the Literature

We present two patients with acute myeloblastic leukemia (FAB AML-M7 and AML-M2) com- plicated by hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and relevant literature review. To our knowledge, our first case is the first and youngest patient having AML-M7 associated with HLH reported in the lit - erature. Our cases and cases in the literature highlight the high mortality rate of leukemia associated with HLH and the need for further investigation for the most appropriate therapy.
