Abstract_ Introduction Hypocellular variants of acute myeloid leukemia are very rare and almost always occur in old aged patients. In contrast hypocellular acute lymphoblastic leukemia usually occurs in children. Case presentation We report two Indian patients with hypocellular acute myeloid leukemia a 32-year-old woman and a 13-year-old boy. Interestingly one of the patients also showed bone marrow necrosis. Conclusion Hypocellular acute myeloid leukemia is a rare entity and can affect young individuals. It can be considered as a rare cause of bone marrow necrosis. Introduction The infrequent occurrence of hypocellularity at presentation of acute leukemia has been widely recognized. Hypocellular variants of acute leukemia almost always have a myeloid phenotype and usually develop secondary to radiation or chemotherapy 1 2 . They thus occur mainly in .
