[Eosinophilia and reticulo-nodular lung changes: a problem in differential diagnosis (author's transl)].
A 55-year-old patient with reticulo-nodular infiltrations of both lungs and eosinophila had previously been living in the tropics for several months. The clinical triad suggested filarial infection. But the final diagnosis proved to be metastasizing adenocardinoma of the lung, as demonstrated at autopsy.
