Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) may constitute the initial manifestation of acute leukemia or precede its diagnosis. The meticulous search for splenomegaly and lymphadenopathies in the clinical examination, as well as the careful analysis of complete blood count are crucial for diagnostic purposes, and has direct prognostic and therapeutic implications.
