Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy in children. T-cell ALL accounts for 10-15% of cases. ALL can rarely relapse in unusual extramedullary sites like bone. Hereby, we report a case of 7-year-old male child who was being treated for T-cell ALL and then presented with left arm swelling. This swelling was initially thought to be a bone tumor but later it was found to be infiltrated by leukemic blasts. We reviewed all previous cases and suggest that in a patient of ALL presenting with a bone swelling during or after completion of therapy, one should suspect of bone relapse.
