Pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis as a complication of chemotherapy: A case report.

Pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE) is a rare and recently described distinct pattern of lung apical fibrosis involving the upper lobe parenchyma and pleural dome. PPFE has definable and reproducible clinical, radiological and histopathological criteria, which allowed its classification as an independent interstitial lung disease. Several factors have been associated with PPFE, such as chemotherapy, especially with alkylating agents.
