Splenic infarction occurs due to occlusion of splenic vessels that leads to
splenic tissue ischemia and necrosis. There are several reports regarding splenic
infarction in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Herein, we
report a case of acute promyelocytic anemia (AML-M3) who presented with
abdominal pain and splenic infarction.
