Abstract
A [human] case of preleukemia with marked reticulocytosis and a slightly reduced red cell 51Cr survival was presented. An in vitro reticulocyte survival test suggested that the apparent reticulocytosis was due to delayed maturation of reticulocytes. The globin synthesis ratio suggested an abnormal ribonucleic acid. At autopsy, in addition to the findings of acute leukemia, mesenteric lipodystrophy was discovered. This abnormality has been seen in patients with malignant diseases, especially lymphomas, but heretofore was not reported in acute leukemia.
