Lung ultrasound showed a diffuse bilateral B-profile pattern-interstitial syndrome, they underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan of thorax that showed multiple bilateral lung metastases. The detection, in a dyspneic patient, of a diffuse Bprofile pattern not attributable to traditional interstitial syndrome conditions (pulmonary fibrosis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, acute pulmonary edema, interstitial pneumonia) could be indicative of multiple pulmonary metastases.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Italian Journal of Medicine}, author={Carlino, Maria Viviana and Mancusi, Costantino and de Simone, Giovanni and Liccardi, Filomena and Guarino, Mario and Paladino, Fiorella and Sforza, Alfonso}, year={2018}, month={Sep.}, pages={223–226} }
