title: [Diffuse and calcified nodular opacities].
abstract: Pulmonary adenocarcinoma is difficult to identify right away with respect to anamnestic and even to radiological data. We here report the case of a woman with dyspnea. Radiological examination showed disseminated micronodular opacity confluent in both lung fields with calcifications in certain locations. Histological examination of transbronchial biopsies allowed the diagnosis. The prognosis was poor with the death of the patient.
