title: Resolution of pulmonary lymphangitic carcinoma of the breast.
abstract: Pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis, a grave complication of malignant neoplasms, usually progresses rapidly and is fatal despite all modes of therapy. We recently observed complete resolution of pulmonary lymphangitic involvement from an adenocarcinoma of the breast following both chemotherapy and bilateral oophorectomy. The patient's chest radiograph has remained clear for 1 1/2 years.
