BACKGROUND: Oral signs and symptoms may indicate a serious underlying @entity262 . The most frequently observed oral findings of @entity1778 are @entity548 and ulceration, petechiae, and @entity7138 . This case report describes a 53-year-old male who presented with @entity1283 and @entity548 , fatigue, and recent weight loss as initial manifestations of @entity6040 . METHODS: A gingival biopsy was performed, revealing the presence of a hypercellular infiltrate of atypical myeloid and monocytic cells. Further work-up consisted of a complete blood count, bone marrow biopsy, and immunohistochemical and histochemical analysis of biopsy material and flow cytometry of peripheral blood. RESULTS: Flow cytometry results confirmed that the infiltrate was of a myelomonocytic origin, and a diagnosis of @entity6040 was rendered. The @entity1 responded well to a chemotherapeutic induction regimen of @entity2592 and @entity8779 , with regression of @entity1283 and @entity66 . The @entity1 continued with consolidation chemotherapy and an autologous bone marrow transplant, but eventually died 22 months after initial diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS: Oral health care professionals, especially periodontists, must recognize that @entity1283 may represent an initial manifestation of an underlying @entity262 . Acute @entity2800 is a @entity1503 with a predilection for gingival involvement.
