Cancer Case Report Posters ISESSION TYPE: Case Report PosterPRESENTED ON: Sunday, March 23, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMINTRODUCTION: Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage is a clinical syndrome that is generally manifested by hemoptysis, anemia, hypoxemia and alveolar infiltrates in chest X-rays.(1, 2, 3) We report the case of a patient with a very rare cause of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage: disseminated pulmonary metastases. ⋯ Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage can have a very serious course if its cause is not treated. This patient presented a diffuse alveolar hemorrhage with a highly unusual etiology. (1, 2, 3)CONCLUSIONS: Given the systemic metastatic dissemination and the sarcomatoid pathological strain of the tumor, the death of the patient could be predicted for the next 10 days.Reference #1: Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage, Abigail R.
