title: [Primary pulmonary manifestation of extramedullary acute myelocytic leukemia].
abstract: We report on a 49 year old female with primary extra-medullary manifestation of a acute myeloid leukemia in the lungs without leukemic signs. The disease was diagnosed by detection of leukemic blast cells in bronchoalveolar lavage. Chemotherapy with the TAD-VP-scheme resulted in partial remission. The patient died in systemic early relapse. To our knowledge this is the first description of primary isolated extra-medullary manifestation of a acute myeloid leukemia in the lungs.
