A 58-year-old man presented with a three months’ history of dyspnea on exertion, shortness of breath and pleuritic chest pain. The patient had no history of chronic lung disease and denied any smoking history. Chest X-ray showed bilateral lung masses with hilar involvement. The patient had undergone transbronchial biopsy and brushings, but both yielded no diagnostic features. A lung biopsy was then obtained through open thoractomy. The histologic features of the lung biopsy are illustrated in Figs. 39.1, 39.2, 39.3 and 39.4.
