Besides, hematologic disorders including anemia, thrombocytopenia, leucopenia and coagulation disorders may also accompany cirrhosis. In this case, we discuss a patient with liver cirrhosis on lamivudine treatment with refractory ascites and pancytopenia, who developed acute myeloblastic leukemia during the course of the disease.
