ABSTRACT
Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) is an imaging phenomenon that represents air in the bowel wall. The cause of PI is variable, although specific etiologic factors remain unknown. It is an infrequent complication in leukemia patients and is associated with several medical and surgical conditions. PI often represents a benign condition, but it can also require surgery. Therefore, the assessment of PI with or without complications can be difficult. Herein, we report on an unusual case of a 63 year-old woman with refractory acute precursor B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia-lymphoma who presented with PI resulting from the leukemic process, and finally expired due to sepsis.
