    AbstractA 74-year-old man presented to our department with progressive dyspnea on exertion over the last year. The patient did not report any other symptoms. He had previously smoked with a 60 pack-year history. He worked in an office and did not report any environmental, occupational, or domestic exposures. His history included asymptomatic Waldenström's macroglobulinemia that was diagnosed 18 months before respiratory symptoms. He was not receiving any treatment and was monitored regularly by the hematology department.Copyright © 2023 American College of Chest Physicians. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
