A 31-year old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of dyspnea and malaise of 2 months' duration. A chest radiography revealed bilateral hilar enlargement, and reticulonodular infiltrations. Thoracic CT-scans demonstrated mediastinal lymphadenopathy, thickening of interlobular septa, polygonal lines, and thickening of bronchovascular bundles. The diagnosis was made by open-lung biopsy. The patient died within 3 months after diagnosis. Pulmonary lymphangitic sarcomatosis is a rare but important manifestation of an angiosarcoma. Optimal treatment of these patients is not well defined, but a trial of chemotherapy may be warranted.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessComputed tomographyLung neoplasmsLymphangitisLymphatic metastasisReview Article26539940210.1007/s10585-008-9181-3Q2WOS:0002662391000012-s2.0-6734922579718506585Q1
