Resumo: Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), a malignant neoplasm responsible for the rapid proliferation of abnormal cells in the bone marrow, presents some common signs such as gingival bleeding and purple-colored gum hyperplasia. This clinical case aims to show the importance of the dentist in diagnosing AML. A 57-year-old Caucasian female presented with a complaint of gum pain and bleeding for 60 days. She had fibromyalgia and was taking Fluoxetine and Amitriptyline. On examination, purple hemorrhagic gingival hyperplasia was detected. Full blood count, clotting profile, and HIV serology (suspected Kaposi´s sarcoma) were requested and were within normal parameters. An incisional biopsy was performed, and the diagnosis was AML. This case highlights the importance of diagnosing oral lesions, as laboratory tests may remain normal. The patient was referred for oncology-hematology treatment.
