Abstract
Patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) can develop relapse in sanctuary sites like brain, ovary or testis even when the bone marrow is in remission. Pelvic recurrence is rarely reported during the follow up of successfully treated ALL in females. We report here a very unusual case of a large pelvic lump which the patient herself could feel, that was probably an ovarian relapse of ALL, successfully treated with re-induction chemotherapy alone and achieved complete remission.Entities:
