It is about a 70-year-old patient, with chronic lymphocytic leukemia treated with chemotherapy. He presented fever, splenomegaly and axillary adenopathy. The blood count showed persistent pancytopenia. The bone marrow aspiration showed the presence of Leishman’s bodies. The patient was lost to follow-up.
