Abstract
Treatment with arsenic trioxide (ATO) and all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is standard treatment for patients suffering from acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Peripheral neuropathy is a common sign of arsenic poisoning but reports of peripheral neuropathy from patients treated with ATO for APL are limited. We here present a case of a woman treated with standard regimes of ATRA-ATO for APL, who subsequently developed severe peripheral neuropathy from ATO poisoning.
