Pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis from recurrent gastric cancer 19 years after primary resection: a case report.

Pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis is one rare pattern of pulmonary metastases in advanced cancers. Gastric cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer that causes pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis. However, recurrent gastric cancer presenting as pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis after surgery is extremely rare. Furthermore, recurrence is usually observed within 5 years. We present the first case of pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis in a patient with recurrent gastric cancer, 19 years after resection. In patients with a history of gastric cancer and the presence of interstitial shadow, pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis even if several years have passed since surgery.
