A 65 year old man presented with respiratory failure, pleural effusions, fine reticulonodular shadowing on a chest radiograph, and severe impairment of carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (transfer factor). Open lung biopsy showed only dilated pleural and subpleural lymphatic channels. Hypoplastic deep pulmonary lymphatics may have led to respiratory failure.
一名65岁男性出现呼吸衰竭、胸腔积液、胸部X线片显示有细小的网状结节状阴影,以及一氧化碳弥散能力(转移因子)严重受损。开胸肺活检仅显示胸膜和胸膜下淋巴管扩张。发育不全的深部肺淋巴管可能导致了呼吸衰竭。
