Key result
Pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis diagnosis was delayed by 3 months in a 53-year-old woman with metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma due to symptoms mimicking interstitial lung disease.
Why the study?
The diagnosis of lymphangitic carcinomatosis is challenging because its nonspecific symptoms and radiographic abnormalities closely resemble interstitial lung disease.

May aid recognition of lymphangitic carcinomatosis in gastric adenocarcinoma; leaves open validation in larger cohorts.
Highlights the diagnostic challenge of pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis due to its presentation mimicking benign interstitial lung disease.
Pandey et al. (2020) studied this question. Pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis diagnosis was delayed by 3 months in a 53-year-old woman with metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma due to symptoms mimicking interstitial lung disease.
