摘要: We report the case of an 80-year-old man treated for follicular grade 3B non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). Immunochemotherapy consisted rituximab (375 mg/m2) and CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine prednisone) every 21 days. Since patient complained mild dyspnea on effort with bilateral basilar crackles audible auscultation, PET-CT was performed showed disappearance initial 18F-FDG uptake, but new abnormal sites uptake were evident in sub-pleural areas lung, mostly right side. After starting fifth cycle rituximab-CHOP, worsened. Chest-X ray HRCT consistent interstitial infiltration, including air-space consolidation, “ground-glass” opacities, small pulmonary cysts thickening interlobular septa also seen. Trans-bronchial biopsy revealed inflammation lung parenchyma, as well swelling hyperplasia atypical type II alveolar cells. Alternative diagnoses than drug-related toxicity are discussed, a literature review is provided.
