Abstract

The article presents a case study of a 74-year-old woman with chronic cough and progressive shortness of breath. It is reported that pulmonary function tests showed a severe obstructive ventilatory disorder, and imaging revealed bilateral micronodules and nodules. It underscores the importance of considering pleural involvement in the differential diagnosis of diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia (DIPNECH).
