We report four cases of swelling of the elbow in children in whom the final diagnosis was acute leukemia. We believe that elbow arthritis in children, especially when isolated, is an unusual finding that is unlikely to indicate juvenile idiopathic arthritis and should suggest alternative diagnoses including neoplastic disease.

Abstract
We report four cases of swelling of the elbow in children in whom the final diagnosis was acute leukemia. We believe that elbow arthritis in children, especially when isolated, is an unusual finding that is unlikely to indicate juvenile idiopathic arthritis and should suggest alternative diagnoses including neoplastic disease.
