Abstract

Acute myeloid leukemia patients develop thrombocytopenia due to chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation. Thrombocytopenia-induced bleeding can be encountered at rates of 20-32% in these patients. In this case presentation, we aimed to describe the process experienced by a patient who did not manifest significant thrombocytopenia or tumorous formations in the bladder but presented hematuria following chemotherapy, which was resolved with embolization, and to stress that embolization is a treatment modality that should always be considered.
