Abstract
Spontaneous remission of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is very rare, with < 100 reported cases in adults. We describe herein 3 patients with AML and 1 with high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome at our institution who had spontaneous remission. Spontaneous remissions are generally of short duration and therefore require close follow-up to detect relapses.
