Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia has the highest prevalence rate among all the oncological cases around the globe. It possesses a very significant risk to the public in various forms. About 1 person in 526 will get CML in their lifetime. Nowadays, it's very challenging to understand the proper symptoms of these diseases. However, chronic myeloid leukemia with pleural effusion is extremely uncommon and poorly understood. We report a case of a 45-year-old female patient diagnosed with bilateral pleural effusion and chronic myeloid leukemia.
