Figure 1
(a) Initial computed tomogram with mild changes, notably extensive emphysema, and bi-basal peripheral–ground-glass changes. (b) Computed tomogram from 4 months later (after initiation of cyclophosphamide), with severe centrilobar and paraseptal emphysema with new inflammatory changes. (c) Improvement in the changes seen in (b), 3 months after cyclophosphamide withdrawal.
Figure 2
Figure 2
(a) X-ray taken before cyclophosphamide treatment. (b) X-ray taken during treatment. (c) X-ray taken 2 months after cyclophosphamide was discontinued. The pretreatment X-ray was reported as showing a largely peripheral and basal pattern of fibrosis, which then improved significantly following drug withdrawal.
