胸内转移发生在30-40%的恶性疾病患者中。在这一组中，6-8%患有癌性淋巴管炎。本文综述了癌性淋巴管炎的发病机制、调查和治疗。40-49岁年龄组最常受影响。在46%的患者中，呼吸道症状是潜在癌症的初始表现。最常见的潜在原发性肿瘤是乳腺癌（33%）、胃癌（29%）和肺癌（17%）。大约50%的患者在出现第一次呼吸道症状后3个月内死亡，但那些原发性前列腺癌患者在辅助激素治疗后可能会有良好的缓解。
Intrathoracic metastases occur in 30-40% of patients with malignant disease. In this group 6-8% have lymphangitis carcinomatosa. This review examines the pathogenesis, investigation and treatment of lymphangitis carcinomatosa. The 40-49 years age group is most commonly affected. In 46% of patients respiratory symptoms are the initial presentation of the underlying carcinoma. The most common underlying primary tumours are breast (33%), stomach (29%) and lung cancers (17%). Approximately 50% die within 3 months of their first respiratory symptoms but those with a prostatic primary carcinoma may have good remission with adjuvant hormonal therapy.
