    Case PresentationA 34-year-old previously healthy man of Korean descent (height, 174 cm; weight, 47.4 kg) demonstrated dyspnea with cough and chest tightness. The patient had no relevant occupational exposures and no history of illicit drug or tobacco use. His medical history was notable for chronic sinus tachycardia of undetermined cause, hypertension, gout, glaucoma of the right eye, and a remote history of an intracranial malignancy 24 years prior treated with unspecified chemotherapy, craniotomy, and ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement. His active medications included diltiazem, candesartan, and colchicine as needed.Copyright © 2021 American College of Chest Physicians. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
