Key Points

To present a unique case of lung metastasis from peritoneal mesothelioma that exhibits radiographic features resembling diffuse lung disease.
Case report of a 72-year-old male presenting with dry cough and dyspnea.
Chest CT scans indicated interlobular septal thickening and fine reticular opacities.
Bronchial lung biopsy was performed to investigate potential lung metastasis.
Confirmatory tests involved abdominal imaging for soft tissue masses and ascites.
Initial diagnosis suggested possible hypersensitivity pneumonitis with no observed improvement.
Lung mass confirmed as metastatic carcinoma following biopsy and immunohistochemical analysis.
Diagnosis of peritoneal mesothelioma was established based on ascitic cell block examination.

A case report reveals lung metastasis mimicking diffuse lung disease in an elderly male, highlighting diagnostic challenges.
