[Chemically-induced paraneoplastic hyperleukocytic lung].

Dyspnea is the principal clinical feature of pulmonary leukostasis, a syndrome called "poumon hyperleucocytaire" in French. It is a common complication of chronic myeloid leukemia. In the course of pulmonary carcinoma, leukocytosis is frequently noted. One of the etiologies is a paraneoplastic syndrome with production of colony stimulating factor. We report a case of pulmonary hyperleukostasis following antineoplastic chemotherapy for pulmonary carcinoma.
