In this study, a case of lung adenocarcinoma complicated with respiratory failure is reported to show diffuse uniform ground-glass shadow in the chest computed tomography (CT). On auxiliary examination, chest CT scan [ Figure 1b -1e, November 12, 2014] found diffused uniform ground-glass shadow in two lungs with no enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes. In clinical practice, the chest CT scan showed ground-glass-like change due to diffuse exudation in two lungs often suggests special pathogen infection (such as hematogenous pulmonary tuberculosis, pulmonary fungal infection, and viral pneumonia), exogenous allergic pulmonary inflammation, interstitial pneumonia, acute pulmonary edema, etc. In summary, the diffuse, uniform ground-glass shadow as the main imaging features of lung cancer in chest CT is very rare. ./cache/cord-265606-c1zo47sw.txt ./txt/cord-265606-c1zo47sw.txt
