ABSTRACT
A 48-year-old Filipino woman underwent umbilical cord blood stem cell transplantation for Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia under non-remission status. Left aqueous humor puncture was performed owing to the development of left eye pain and exacerbation of anterior eye chamber inflammation 72 days after the transplantation; this revealed the relapse of leukemia in the anterior chamber. Subsequently, the patient tested positive for peripheral blood minimal residual disease. Therefore, doctors should take note that anterior chamber disease may appear as a non-typical relapse of leukemia.
