Abstract
The clinical course and autopsy findings of a patient who died of the hemorrhagic
complications of monocytic leukemia have been presented. The tongue lesion, a previously
uninvestigated oral manifestation of leukemia, is described both grossly and microscopically.
The leukemic cell infiltrates followed the pattern seen in the skin rather than that
seen in the gingiva. It is suggested that laryngectomy and radiation to the oral cavity
in this patient were predisposing factors in the development of the tongue lesion.
