A patient with mycosis fungoides involving the lung, presenting with ARDS, and diagnosed by bronchoalveolar lavage, is described. A review and correlation of chest radiographic manifestations and pathologic observations are presented. We stress the importance of obtaining a specific diagnosis in light of the tenuous radiographic-pathologic correlation and discuss procedures for diagnosis and the inclusion of bronchoalveolar lavage as a previously undescribed diagnostic modality. The dismal prognosis of these patients, once pulmonary involvement is diagnosed, is noted.
描述了一名蕈样肉芽肿累及肺部、出现急性呼吸窘迫综合征并通过支气管肺泡灌洗确诊的患者。文中呈现了胸部X光表现与病理观察结果的回顾及相关性分析。鉴于X光与病理之间的微弱相关性，我们强调了获得明确诊断的重要性，并讨论了诊断程序以及将支气管肺泡灌洗作为一种此前未被描述的诊断方式的应用。文中还指出了一旦诊断出肺部受累这些患者的预后不佳情况。
