Herein, we present the first case of methotrexate-associated lymphoproliferative disorder (MTX-associated lymphoproliferative disorder) associated with diffuse groundglass opacities. A 53-year-old woman was referred to Hamamatsu University School of Medicine, Japan, with a 3-month history of fever and painful lymphadenopathy. Her medical history was significant for rheumatoid arthritis treated with MTX for 8 years, SjogrenLs syndrome, and chronic thyroiditis treated with levothyroxine for 8 years. She was thin (body mass index, 12.5 kg/m2), hypoxemic (oxygen saturation as measured by pulse oximetry, 91% on room air), tachypneic (respiratory rate, 30 breaths/min), and febrile (37.78C). Physical examination revealed dry mouth, ulnar deviation, bilateral fine crackles on chest auscultation, hepatosplenomegaly, and axillary and inguinal lymph node swelling. She had no known history of recent travel, exposures, or sick contacts. Laboratory data revealed elevated serum C-reactive protein (8.82 mg/dl), lactate dehydrogenase (335 IU/L), soluble IL-2 receptor (6,281 U/ml; normal, 220-530 U/ml), and IL-6 (44.7 pg/ml; normal, 4.0 pg/ml). Serum b-D-glucan (, 6.0 pg/ml), Krebs von den Lungen-6 (444 U/ml), and surfactant protein-D (119 ng/ml) were not elevated (see Table E1 in the online supplement). Computed tomography revealed diffuse groundglass opacities and faint centrilobular nodular shadow (Figures 1A and 1B), together with axillary lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly. The patientLs pulmonary function test results demonstrated moderate restriction with moderate diffusion impairment. BAL fluid analysis revealed cell count of 1.81 3 105/ml, with cell differential of 15% macrophages, 66.2%, lymphocytes, 16.4% neutrophils, and a CD4/CD8 ratio of 0.35 (normal 0.9-1.9). No microorganisms (including Pneumocystis DNA PCR) were detected on BAL fluid culture. Left axillary lymph node biopsy revealed diffuse proliferation of atypical small lymphocytes, capillary hyperplasia, and clear cells, positive for CD3, CD4, CD8, and TIA-1; scattered positive for CD20 and PD-1; and negative for CD21. On in situ hybridization, these lymphocytes were positive for Epstein-Barr virus-encoded small RNA (Figures 2A-2D). Accumulations of T cells reactivated with Epstein-Barr virus were also found in transbronchial biopsy specimens
