Abstract

A 50-year-old male is described who presented with Fournier's gangrene as what is probably the first manifestation of a newly diagnosed acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), promyelocytic type or variant type M₃ according to the FAB classification. Despite aggressive fluid resuscitation, tuned infusion of vasoactive drugs, appropriate antibiotics and extensive surgical debridement, the patient died within 24 h as a result of irreversible septic shock.
