Abstract
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a subgroup of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Although it is known that hemorrhagic complications are common, thrombotic complications are not as rare as thought. However, myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke incidence are very rare during AML. Here, we present the astonishing case of APL diagnosed with pancytopenia in its presentation with acute myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke.
