Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), also called acute granulocytic leukaemia (AGL), acute nonlymphocytic leukaemia (ANLL), acute myelogenous leukaemia, splenomedullary leukaemia or splenomyelogenous leukaemia, is a cancer of blood-forming tissues marked by rapid growth of not-fully-formed granular leukocytes, a type of white blood cell. The symptoms may begin quickly. The typical ones are spongy bleeding gums, iron-poor blood, fatigue, fever, shortness of breath, large spleen, joint and bone pains, and many infections.
