1 Upper Lobe Pulmonary Fibrosis Associated With High-Dose Chemotherapy Containing BCNU for Bone Marrow Transplantation  James M. Parish, MD, John R. Muhm, MD, Kevin O. Leslie, MD  Mayo Clinic Proceedings  Volume 78, Issue 5, Pages (May 2003) DOI: / Copyright © 2003 Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Chest radiograph of BCNU-treated patient, showing small right apical pneumothorax, bilateral apical pleural thickening, bilateral upper lobe fibrosis, and upward retraction of both hila. The pneumothorax was not evident on a radiograph obtained 1 year earlier.

3 Figure 2 Computed tomographic scans of the thorax in BCNU-treated patient, showing a small right apical pneumothorax, bilateral apical pleural thickening, and bilateral upper lobe subpleural fibrosis (top), multiple small right apical subpleural bullae (middle), and a small right pleural effusion (bottom).

4 Figure 3 Photomicrographs of lung biopsy specimen from BCNU-treated patient. Upper left, Pleural and interlobular septal fibrosis with portions of the intervening parenchyma relatively spared. Delicate interstitial fibrosis is present to a variable degree throughout the sections. Some tractional dilatation of membranous bronchioles is evident. Upper right, High-magnification view showing laminated appearance of denser peripheral fibrosis interfacing with looser fibrosis beneath. P = pleural surface. Lower left, High-magnification view showing parenchymal fibrosis with associated mild chronic inflammation. Lower right, Cystic membranous bronchiole adjacent to area of fibrosis (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification: upper left, x20; upper right, x40; lower left, x60; lower right, x40).

5 Figure 4 Computed tomographic scans of the thorax in BCNU-treated patient 1 year after presentation, showing resolution of the right apical pneumothorax (left) and progression of the bilateral apical pleural thickening, bilateral subpleural fibrosis, and bilateral upper lobe fibrosis (left and right).
