Abstract
- Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis that leads to multi-organ involvement with unknown etiology. We report a 64-year-old woman with a dry cough and dyspnea. She had interlobular septal thickening and ground-glass opacity in both lungs, suggesting lymphangitic lung metastasis. However, she was diagnosed with ECD after a long bone and immunohistological evaluation.
