Pulmonary venous infarction secondary to squamous cell carcinoma.
This type of pulmonary venous infarction has not been previously reported, namely: pulmonary vein obstruction from squamous cell carcinoma. Furthermore, this case is unique in that the characteristic pathologic vascular changes observed with pulmonary venous infarction were contrasted with a noninfarcted upper lobe that was removed from the same patient one year later.
