Case Report: A rare case of PleuroPneumonia and ALL T-cell in a pediatric patient

The leukemias may be defined as a group of malignant diseases in which genetic abnormalities in a hemopoetic cell give rise to an unregulated clonal proliferation of cells. The progeny of these cells has a growth advantage over normal cellular elements because of their increased rate of proliferation and decreased rate of spontaneous apoptosis. The result is a disruption of normal marrow function and marrow failure. The clinical features, laboratory findings and responses to therapy vary depending on the type of leukemia. Here is presented the case of a 6-year-old boy with atypical clinical findings of Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
