Which presentation signs are typical in leukemia?

• A. Fatigue and pallor
• B. Diarrhea
• C. Leg pain
• D. Bruising easily

Answer: (D)

Leukemia disrupts normal blood cell production in the bone marrow, leading to cytopenias. A drop in platelets causes a bleeding tendency, so easy bruising is a direct and common sign of this condition. While fatigue and pallor reflect anemia from marrow involvement, and leg pain can occur, bruising easily specifically points to thrombocytopenia that often accompanies leukemia. Diarrhea isn’t a typical or characteristic feature of leukemia.
