Pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis (PLC) refers to the infiltration of lung lymphatic channels with metastatic carcinoma and is associated with a dismal prognosis. PLC accompanies circa 7% of all pulmonary metastases and is most commonly caused by various metastatic adenocarcinomas. Only two cases of PLC due to squamous cell lung carcinoma have been reported to date in the English literature. We report herein a unique case of squamous cell lung carcinoma with lymphangitic spread, displaying bilateral and diffuse bronchial tree involvement that might have been a result of invasion from the pulmonary lymphatics into the bronchial lumen.
肺淋巴管癌病（PLC）是指转移性癌浸润肺淋巴管，预后较差。PLC约占所有肺转移瘤的7%，最常见于各种转移性腺癌。迄今为止，英文文献中仅报道了2例由肺鳞状细胞癌引起的PLC。我们在此报告1例独特的伴有淋巴管播散的肺鳞状细胞癌病例，其表现为双侧弥漫性支气管树受累，这可能是肺淋巴管侵入支气管腔所致。
