Zusammenfassung:Correspondence to Dr Sanjeev Khera; kherakherakhera@gmail.com Description A 6-year-old female child was diagnosed with B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and was started on intermediate risk Berlin–Frankfurt–Münster 2002 chemotherapy protocol. Contrast-enhanced CT scan of the chest was suggestive of consolidation and surrounding ground glass haze within posterior segment of right lower lobe along with a cavitary lesion measuring 8.9×13 mm with surrounding air crescent all around. While on treatment, she had sudden bouts of bleeding with cough and after investigations required emergent surgery.
