Extends lymphangitic carcinomatosis differential to cervical carcinoma; supports transbronchial biopsy confirmation but should not yet change practice.
A diagnosis of pulmonary lymphangitic spread of cervical cancer was established by transbronchial biopsy in a 58-year-old woman requiring mechanical ventilation. Confirmation of the clinical diagnosis allowed supportive therapy in this terminal stage of cancer. To our knowledge, this report is the first to describe this result from cervical carcinoma and to establish the diagnosis of lymphangitic carcinomatosis by transbronchial biopsy.

Robert M. Maulitz (1979) conducted a case report in Pulmonary lymphangitic spread of cervical cancer (n=1). Transbronchial biopsy was evaluated on Diagnosis of pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis. Transbronchial biopsy successfully established the diagnosis of pulmonary lymphangitic spread of cervical cancer in a 58-year-old woman requiring mechanical ventilation.
