Abstract

Adenocarcinoma is the most frequently diagnosed histologi­cal subtype of bronchogenic carcinomas in women and nonsmokers, and commonly located peripherally. Pulmo­nary adenocarcinoma, as other bronchogenic carcinomas, can cause distant metastases. However, miliary lung metasta­sis is rare and generally bone marrow involvement in pulmonary adenocarcinomas is not expected. Here we report a 71-year-old female pulmonary adenocarcinoma patient with miliary lung metastasis and bone marrow involvement.
