Abstrakt: The article presents a case study of a 9-year-old boy diagnosed with an acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It mentions that the child had undergone magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan due to the swelling of his left upper arm. It notes that B-cell ALL was consistent in the flow cytometry of the child's bone marrow which was also detected with low signal intensity through the MRI scan. It adds that the growth of the child's soft tissue tumor decreased with the help of MRI.
