A highly unusual cluster of acute promyelocytic leukaemia: an environmental aetiology?

R J A Murrin1, P Harrison, J R Neilson.   

Abstract

We report three consecutive cases of acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APML) that were diagnosed within a 4-month period. This unexpected sequence of events was made all the more notable following our discovery of co-incidental geographic, social, and occupational factors that linked them together. Our data strongly suggests that environmental agents may play a greater role in the aetiology of APML than is commonly perceived.
