Haemostatic abnormalities may occur in 1-2% of patients treated with L-asparaginase. Here, we present the second case of a myocardial infarction, developing in a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), in the course of L-asparaginase treatment. In our patient and in the only one reported case from the literature, a recent exposure to vincristine and daunorubicin was also reported, but induction chemotherapy program was completed as scheduled, with the only withdrawal of L-asparaginase. Myocardial infarction should be included in the list of thrombotic complications possibly associated with L-asparaginase treatment, or with a combination of L-asparaginase and vinca alkaloids/anthracycline.
