| Abstract | Background We here report the first case of leukemic lung infiltration diagnosed by transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC). TBLC is likely to be a superior method to transbronchial forceps biopsy because TBLC can get larger specimens, resulting in a higher chance of containing the leukemic cells infiltrated tissues. TBLC is generally considered a superior diagnostic method compared to transbronchial lung forceps biopsy (TBLB) because it utilizes cryotechnology to obtain larger specimens, increasing the likelihood of capturing tissues infiltrated with leukemic cells. Case presentation A 69-year-old male patient with acute myeloid leukemia presented with a fever. His initial chest CT scans revealed consolidative lesions, raising suspicion of fungal infection such as angioinvasive aspergillosis or mucormycosis. TBLC and TBLB were conducted to achieve a precise diagnosis, and eventually, leukemic lung infiltration was identified exclusively in the tissues obtained from TBLC. Two cycles of chemotherapy was administrated to patient, showing improvements in symptoms and chest CT findings. Conclusions TBLC has greater potential as a differential diagnostic method for pulmonary lesions than TBLB in leukemia patients facing therapeutic challenges due to its higher diagnostic yield. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
