AbstractA 50-year-old woman who was a nonsmoker presented to the out-patient-department with history of dry cough and breathlessness on exertion for the past 4 months along with onset of dull aching chest pain for the last 2 weeks. Her breathlessness had gradually deteriorated to the point that she experienced dyspnea even on walking a few steps on level ground. Loss of appetite and significant weight loss during the same period also formed part of her clinical semiology. There was no history of fever, night sweats, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, hemoptysis, dysphagia, hoarseness of voice, edema, headache, visual disturbance, weakness of any extremity, or drooping of eyelids. Her medical history revealed that she had undergone hysterectomy 8 years earlier for removal of a probable uterine mass, for which no documentation was available.Copyright © 2022 American College of Chest Physicians.
