RESUMO
Leukemic infiltration of muscle is an unusual cause of compartment syndrome. High index of suspicion with early fasciotomy may be the only way to save the leg and prevent life-threatening complications. Biopsy of the muscle should be done when the etiology of the compartment syndrome is not clear. The probable mechanisms and treatment approaches are discussed.
