What are the characteristic CT and pathologic findings in patients with pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis?
CT scans can identify characteristic findings of pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis, such as uneven thickening of bronchovascular bundles and polygonal lines, even when chest radiographs are normal.
Munk et al. (1988) conducted an observational in Lymphangitic carcinomatosis (n=21). Computed tomographic (CT) scans was evaluated on Characteristic findings on CT scans. Computed tomographic (CT) scans in patients with pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis revealed characteristic uneven thickening of bronchovascular bundles and polygonal lines.
