Israel Alkalay M.D., F.C.C.P.1; Charles W. Fairfax II M.D.1; and John C. Bullard M.D.1

A 48-year-old woman with severe dyspnea, cough, cyanosis and normal appearing chest x-ray films nine months after radical mastectomy for carcinoma is described. Pulmonary function tests suggested restrictive ventilatory impairment. Arterial blood gas measurement showed severe hypoxemia and hypocania. Postmortem microscopic examination revealed neoplastic cells within the pulmonary lymphatics.
