Abstract:
We are reporting a case of a patient with prolymphoctic leukemia complicated by fatal leukostasis. Multiple leukemic thrombi and leukoaggregates were demonstrated on postmortem examination in both the brain and lungs. This represents the first report pathologically documenting leukostasis in a chronic lymphoid malignancy.
