Differential diagnosis of a pulmonary lesion, or a fast track from metastasis to a severe eosinophilia

Abstract

The presented paper deals with the extensive differential diagnosis of pulmonary lesions. Through a particular case report of a female patient with clear risk factors for malignancy it demonstrates the possibility of initially unlikely final diagnosis.

Even after the diagnosis has been made and targeted treatment has been initiated, several factors may appear that complicate the therapeutical effort.
