ABSTRACT
A patient presented with recent onset of increasing shortness of breath, weight loss and low-grade fever. His chest X-ray revealed bilateral miliary shadowing. He was investigated with CT-scanning of thorax. Later, a biopsy from supra-clavicular node and its immunocytochemistry studies confirmed metastasis from primary lung cancer. Primary lung cancer with miliary pulmonary metastases is a rare happening and is mostly associated with lung adenocarcinoma.
