  ABSTRACT: Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a special subgroup of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). About 95% of the patients have specific chromosome translocation t (15 ≤ 17) (q22, q12). APL progresses rapidly and is characterized by extensive and severe bleeding and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Patients may present with severe clinical manifestation which is often caused by the occurrence of DIC in the early stages of the disease. Pregnancy complicated with APL is rare in the clinical setting. They have many complications, high mortality and are difficult to manage clinically. This case report describes a case of a primary pregnancy complicated with APL, in order to better understand how to manage such complex cases.
