Atypical Presentation of a Rare Hematological Malignancy in the Lung
Keywords:
NK cell leukemia, fungal pneumonia in healthy person, fever of unknown origin
Abstract
We report the case of a young healthy gentleman who initially presented with an acute bronchitis like syndrome, which rapidly evolved into sustained pyrexia with lung infiltrate. He subsequently had a rapid downhill course with progressive pulmonary and systemic involvement due to an uncommon aggressive hematological malignancy. We would like to highlight the fact that focal airspace opacity in the lung has many infectious and non-infectious differentials and accurate diagnosis holds the key.
