✦ Synopsis

Infiltration of extrahemopoietic tissue with leukemic cells was evaluated as a prognostic indicator in 18 patients with acute leukemia undergoing bone marrow transplantation. When compared to 107 patients who did not have extramedullary leukemia at any time prior to marrow grafting, the patients with leukemic invasion into organs outside the hemopoietic system had a significant increase of leukemic recurrence and a significant decrease in survival after marrow transplantation. Extramedullary leukemia may be a negative prognostic indicator for bone marrow transplantation candidates.

## BACKGROUND. Extramedullary involvement is only occasionally observed in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) but has been said to occur more frequently after treatment with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) than after treatment with cytotoxic drugs.

Serum soluble ICAM-1 concentrations were measured in 10 patients with or without chronic graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. The serum soluble ICAM-1 levels in the patients with chronic GVHD were significantly higher than that in the patients without chronic G
