A 91-year-old man was admitted with colliquative diarrhea, anorexia and weight loss. He had a history of healed tuberculosis, hypertension and atherosclerotic abdominal aortic aneurysms. On admission, shortness of breath without cough, exertional dyspnea, and ascites were also noticed. His chest X-ray and CT showed almost normal findings in the lung fields except for calcified old pleurisy. Since laboratory tests revealed thrombocytopenia, low fibrinogen, and increased CA19-9. DIC induced by an unknown cancer was diagnosed. He died on the eighth day due to progressive respiratory failure which did not respond to oxygen therapy. Autopsy revealed that he had a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma in the cecum complicated with pulmonary lymphangitis carcinomatosa. Lymphangitis should be considered in the case of unexplained progressive respiratory failure developing in patient with cancer, even in the absence of X-ray findings.
