Pleural disease is an unusual manifestation of childhood leukemia. Three cases are presented which illustrate a definite association between leukemia and pleural thickening. In two patients, there was bilateral diffuse pleural thickening and, in the other, there were unilateral pleural-based masses. Pleural disease may be the initial or only thoracic manifestation of leukemia, or it may occur in combination with other intrathoracic evidence of leukemia.
胸膜疾病是儿童白血病的一种不常见表现。本文报告3例，以说明白血病与胸膜增厚之间存在明确关联。2例患者出现双侧弥漫性胸膜增厚，另1例有单侧胸膜肿块。胸膜疾病可能是白血病的初始或唯一胸部表现，也可能与白血病的其他胸内证据同时出现。
