Abstract
- Otological manifestations exceptionally reveal acute leukaemia, whereas leukaemic infiltration of any tissue is frequent at postmortem examination. We present two cases of acute myeloblastic leukaemia revealed by a loss of hearing due to a middle-ear leukaemic infiltration. The characteristics of such a clinical and radiological finding are emphasized. It is suggested that middle and inner ear can be a 'sanctuary' localization, which might sometimes require radiation therapy to achieve durable and complete remission.
