Sažetak
A 50-year-old lady with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1), smoker (19 pack-year history), presented to the emergency department (ED) due to difficulty breathing at rest with progressive worsening over the previous few weeks. The patient had recently (two weeks earlier) received her third course of chemotherapy (CYVADIC protocol: cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and dacarbazine) for recurrence of MPNST. Urgent chest X-ray in the ED revealed cannonball opacities in both lungs, predominantly in the bases. These radiological changes were consistent with pulmonary metastases from the MPNST, but mimicked those seen in primary metastatic lung cancer. The patient was in the terminal stage of disease and succumbed a week later.
