Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) has several clinical
manifestations on the base of bone marrow infiltration and
the extent of extra medullary involvement. Anterior chest wall
bulging as an initial presentation is rare. The aim of this case
report study is to present a 3.5-year-old-boy presented with
anterior chest wall bulging without history of trauma since 1
month ago. Tc99m-MDP bone scan showed multifocal active
bony pathology in sternum, lower thoracic and lumbar vertebra
and right sacral ala. Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy was
in favor of acute precursor lymphoblastic leukemia, B cell
type. Therefore, acute lymphoblastic leukemia has different
initial presentation and anterior chest wall bulging can be a
rare initial sign of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children.
