Intravascular bronchoalveolar tumor.
We report the case of a young woman presenting productive cough and arthralgia in the left ankle. Chest radiography revealed multiple bilateral pulmonary nodules and abdominal echography and computerized axial tomography demonstrated various hepatic nodules. Definitive diagnosis of an intravascular bronchoalveolar tumor was reached by an open pulmonary biopsy. Liver involvement was confirmed by laparoscopy and biopsy.
