Respiratory failure in a cancer patient: pulmonary thrombotic microangiopathy.

Robert M Venn1, Emma Parkes1, Anurag Joshi1, Edward Jd Caple2, Helen E Davies1.   

Abstract

The hypoxic patient with a normal chest X-ray can be a diagnostic challenge. This case illustrates the rational diagnostic process and describes a relatively rare but important complication of cancer metastasis. Thrombotic microangiopathy, like lymphangitis carcinomatosa, may cause respiratory failure and is a poor prognostic finding. However, unlike lymphangitis carcinomatosa, it may not have specific findings on cross-sectional imaging. © Royal College of Physicians 2020. All rights reserved.
