Budd-Chiari Syndrome as an Initial Presentation of Non-Promyelocytic Acute Myelogenous Leukemia

et al. 2022

Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a rare disease characterized by hepatic venous outflow tract obstruction, frequently due to an underlying thrombophilic disorder. Acute myeloid leukemia rarely presents as acute BCS due to hyperfibrinolysis, hyperleukocytosis, nonspecific proteolytic activity, and disseminated intravascular coagulation causing acute hepatic vein thrombosis. In patients presenting with acute BCS with acute liver failure (ALF), a high index of suspicion and exclusion of underlying malignancy is a must, as it is a contraindication for liver transplantation. We report a case of a 19-year-old Caucasian male who presented with acute BCS causing ALF as an initial presentation of acute myelogenous leukemia.

Cholesterol crystal embolization is a rare multisystem disorder that originates from atherosclerotic plaques showering to different sites causing end organ damage. We present a 79-year-old man who developed purple discoloration of the left toe. Physical exam revealed tender purple toes with palpable distal pulses. The diagnosis of cholesterol emboli syndrome was made while differential diagnoses were ruled out. Despite medical management, his condition continued to slowly worsen.
