Abstract
A rare case of T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia presenting with loss of vision, parotid swelling, hematuria and acute renal failure has been presented in a 40-year-old male. Acute T cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia should also be kept in differential diagnosis of hematuria, acute renal failure and loss of vision.
