Abstract:
Adenocarcinoma of the lung is rare in young adults, particularly in persons below the age of 30. Younger patients tend to present with advanced stages of carcinoma, and often have a rapidly deteriorating course. We describe a 25-year-old male who presented with diffuse interstitial lung disease which was found at autopsy to be lymphangitic carcinomatosis of probable pulmonary origin.
