A 60-year-old nonsmoking woman presented with hemoptysis. Chest radiograph showed a diffuse reticulonodular shadow (Picture 1), and thoracic computed tomography demonstrated diffuse thin-walled cysts, with multiple nodular shadows and ground glass opacities, in both lung fields (Picture 2). Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography revealed an 8-cm tumor in the left iliac bone (Picture 3), which was histologically diagnosed as angiosarcoma.
