Introduction:
In the course of acute myeloid leukaemias, pulmonary manifestations constitute diagnostic and therapeutic emergencies and contribute to the morbidity and mortality at all stages of these diseases.
Background:
Specific lung involvement mainly affects patients at the onset of their disease. The characteristics of such manifestations are poorly known and have rarely been the object of dedicated publications.
Viewpoint:
The purpose of this work thus is to review the literature on the various specific lung manifestations occurring in the course of acute myeloid leukaemias.
