Abstract

This report describes two cases of segmental pulmonary vein occlusion secondary to lung malignancy in which lung biopsies showed histological features of veno-occlusive disease. These are the first cases to be reported in the literature in which such lung parenchymal histological changes are described in association with lung malignancy.

  • CT, computed tomography
  • PVOD, pulmonary veno-occlusive disease
  • pulmonary veno-occlusive disease
  • leiomyosarcoma
  • lung cancer
  • squamous cell
