Abstract
Lepidic adenocarcinoma is a cancer with atypical radiological presentation making its diagnosis difficult and late. Here,we report the case of a 64-year-old man, who presented with respiratory distress his thoracic CT showed ground glass areas and diffuse condensations with blood hypereosinophilia. He was diagnosed to have eosinophilic lung and was placed on corticosteroid therapy but he did not show any improvement. A CT-guided biopsy showed lepidic adenocarcinoma.
