Abstract: 

Short stature is extremely rare to be associated with acute erythroid leukemia particularly in the presence of hypogonadism and hormonal abnormality. We present a case of an adolescent male patient who had short stature, hypogonadism and hormonal abnormalities. Complete blood counts showed evidence of pancytopenia with presence of blasts in peripheral blood. On Bone marrow aspirate, a diagnosis of Erythroleukemia (erythroid/myeloid) was made. Acute erythroid leukemias are rare type of acute leukemias characterized by a predominant erythroid population and comprise less than 2-7% of all acute myeloid leukemias. This case is presented due to rarity of Erythroleukemia in young age. In addition, association of erythroleukemia with short stature, hypogonadism and various hormonal abnormalities has not been reported so far.
