Abstract

Crack cocaine can cause a variety of pulmonary and cardiac complications. Pulmonary findings in a 65- year-old man with non-Hodgkin lymphoma who presented with shortness of breath not resolving with antibiotics are presented here. The usual manifestation of “crack lung” in an unusual clinical circumstance underlines the importance of a clinical history in such cases. The finding of “crack lung” preceded the diagnosis of probable “crack heart.” No other similar published case reports could be identified in the literature.
Keywords: “crack lung”; cocaine; non-Hodgkin lymphoma “crack lung”; cocaine; non-Hodgkin lymphoma
