A 70-year-old woman who had experienced progressive dyspnea for 1 month was admitted to the emergency department. A physical examination revealed bilateral axillary lymphadenopathy and it was determined that she had undergone chemotherapy due to chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in the previous year. A hypodense lesion was observed on a thorax computed tomography image. The result of the investigation was a determination of pulmonary involvement (lymphocytic infiltration) of CLL. The case is presented in the context of a literature discussion due to the low incidence.

Keywords: Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia, bronchopulmonary leukemic infiltration, pulmonary involvement
