Abstract
The authors present a case in which a patient, treated with Myleran for chronic myeloid leukaemia showed tumour like changes in the lung. They stress the differential diagnostic difficulties and the importance of histological diagnosis. This case proves that with discontinuation of the therapy the lung change may be reversible.
