✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Fulminant, rapidly fatal pulmonary metastatic disease occurred in two breast cancer patients. The radiologic appearance in both suggested infection. Immunosuppresion may have contributed to this overwhelming illness. Attempts to obtain a tissue diagnosis are warranted in cancer patients if acute pulmonary infiltrates do not respond to appropriate antibiotics.
