Amiodarone, an antiarrhythmic agent, is known to induce pulmonary toxicity in some patients. Previously described radiographic findings include alveolar and interstitial infiltrates. We report a patient who developed biapical infiltrates on chest X-ray film and demonstrated an unusual, symmetric appearance on CT. Correlative postmortem histologic findings are presented. Amiodarone-induced pulmonary toxicity should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary parenchymal infiltrates seen on CT of patients receiving this medication.
胺碘酮是一种抗心律失常药物，已知会在一些患者中诱发肺毒性。先前描述的影像学表现包括肺泡和间质浸润。我们报告了一名患者，其胸部X线片显示双肺尖浸润，CT表现为不寻常的对称性外观。并展示了相关的尸检组织学结果。在接受此药物治疗的患者的CT上发现肺实质浸润时，鉴别诊断应考虑胺碘酮诱发的肺毒性。
