## TL;DR

This paper reports a rare case of T-phenotype acute lymphoblastic leukemia located in the bronchus, revealed by a purulent pleurisy and confirmed through bronchial biopsy.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in describing an exceptionally rare endobronchial localization of T-phenotype acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

## Key findings

- Endobronchial localization of T-phenotype ALL was confirmed via bronchial biopsy.
- The patient showed good clinical response to chemotherapy.
- The case highlights the rare presentation of ALL in the bronchus.

## Abstract

La localisation endobronchique des leucémies aigues lymphoblastiques est exceptionnelle, de rares cas ont été rapportés dans la littérature. Nous rapportons le cas d'une localisation endobronchique d'une leucémie aigue lymphoblastique de phénotype T révélée par une pleurésie purulente et confirmée par biopsie bronchique. Une chimiothérapie a été démarrée avec bonne évolution.
