Summary:Abdominal involvement in an isolated extramedullary relapse region in patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) is a rare event, especially in patients in hematological remission. The literature related to this subject is very limited.

An early diagnosis of abdominal involvement is extremely important and must be kept in mind for ALL patients who are admitted for testicular relapse.
