Abstract : Pleural effusions in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) can have wide differential diagnosis, however AML presenting as pleural effusion with leukemic infiltration is rarely documented. A 22 year old male presented with pleural effusion for 3 months and subsequently diagnosed as AML M2, which prompted us for this communication.
