title: [Diagnostic difficulties in diffuse pulmonary infiltrations].
abstract: We described a case of 26-year-old woman, with the history of cough and exercise dyspnoea. Chest X-ray and HRCT examination showed diffuse interstitial infiltration. Histopathological examination of supraclavicular lymph nodes and lung tissue obtained by transbronchial biopsy revealed metastatic adenocarcinoma. Despite several examinations, including gastroscopy- the primary site of cancer was not established. Rapid progression of the disease led to death. Post-mortem examination revealed diffuse gastric carcinoma as the primary neoplasm.
