Introduction. Macrocheilia is a rare presentation for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).
Case report. A 18 year-old man was referred to our department for an acute swollen lower lip, multiple swollen cervical lymph nodes and spontaneous gum bleeding. The diagnosis of APL was made and the treatment was rapidly started in an intensive care unit.
Discussion. APL is often found because of stomatologic symptoms but macrocheilia is rarely reported. APL is a vital emergency.
