Abstract: | The association of sarcoidosis with hematological malignancies is a well-known phenomenon. To our knowledge, we report the first case involving sarcoidosis and acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) t(15;17)(q22;q12-21). The major interest lies in the chronology of the two diseases: the APL demonstrated an unusual smoldering evolution, suggesting that pre-existing sarcoidosis may have a non-fortuitous immunological impact on leukemic clone proliferation. |
