Acute promyelocytic leukemia is a distinguished subset of acute myeloid leukemia which is characterized by fusion gene transcript PML-RAR-alpha and high cure rates with treatment. This entity was first described in 1957 in patients with severe bleeding tendencies, fibrinolysis, rapid deterioration of the clinical status, and presence of promyelocytes in peripheral blood and bone marrow.
