Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy in children. Usually ALL children present with pallor, fever, bleeding, infection, lymphadenopathy and hapatosplenomegaly. Very rarely ALL patients may present with hypercalcaemia and osteolytic lesions. A five year old boy was referred and transferred to the paediatric ward of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka with the complaints of pain in the hip joint, generalized pain all over the body and very high calcium level. He was severely pale, the total leukocyte count was normal with normal distribution. Platelet count was also normal. There were some atypical lymphocytes. Radiology showed extensive osteolytic lesions. Considering all these findings, a bone marrow study was done, which was compatible with ALL. Flow-cytometry was also done and it confirmed the diagnosis as common ALL.
