Adenocarcinoma of Left Lung with Bilateral Lymphangitic Spread
50 year old female with primary adenocarcinoma of the left lung presenting with pneumonic consolidation of the left lung, and diffuse reticulonodular changes bilaterally
CT in a coronal plane shows intralobular nodules, nodular changes along the fissures, interlobular septa, and diffuse nodular thickening of the interlobular septa. These findings represent lymphatic spread along the lymphovascular bundles and are consistent with the diagnosis of lymphangitis carcinomatosa
