Smoking habits are another recognized potential risk factor for both PLCH and lung cancer&#46; It is estimated that more than a half of PLCH patients have previous or current smoking habits&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0045"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a></p><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Since an active neoplasm is an absolute contra-indication for lung transplant&#44; its diagnosis during pre-transplant evaluation is crucial&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> Patients with fibrotic ILD and solid pulmonary nodules are challenging to approach&#46;

during the time on waiting list for transplant&#44; annual thoracic CT showed progression of disease to pulmonary fibrosis with pulmonary nodules that remained stable over time&#46; Evaluating retrospectively&#44; some of those nodules could have been of neoplastic origin&#44; however the invasive diagnostic approaches available at that time were extremely risky for the patient due to the possible fatal complications&#44; namely respiratory failure&#46;</p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">An interesting aspect of this case is the disagreement between the initial and post-transplant histological diagnosis&#46; As far as we know&#44; there are no published papers analyzing the histological transformation that can occur after lung transplant&#44; despite descriptions of some ILDs evolving to pulmonary fibrosis over time&#46; An unpublished retrospective study demonstrated that in the majority &#40;80&#46;5&#37;&#41; of patients submitted to lung transplant due to ILD their explanted lungs showed a histologic pattern of usual interstitial pneumonia &#40;UIP&#41;&#44; although only one third of them had previous diagnosis of IPF&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a> This finding suggests a fibrotic evolution between initial diagnosis and lung transplant in non-IPF patients&#44;

MMF is inclusively described as being related to tumor progression&#44; possibly due to various mechanisms&#44; including disruption of apoptosis and DNA repair&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> After lung transplant&#44; managing immunosuppressive therapy was the most challenging approach&#46; It was decided to discontinue MMF and remain with tacrolimus and prednisone at the lowest limit of the desired range&#46;</p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This case offers some noteworthy learning points&#46; The increased risk of primary lung cancer in lung transplant candidates must be acknowledged&#46; Certain imaging features&#44; including pulmonary nodules or masses&#44; should be followed or biopsied&#44; depending on how advanced the ILD is and the urgency for transplant&#46; Patients with ILD should undergo bronchoscopy lavage for cytological samples&#46; It is important to have a high level of suspicion for neoplastic disease since the clinical scenario does not always point to this differential diagnosis&#46; This is reflected in the present case&#44; as the patient had only a remote smoking history and had no on-going weight loss or other signs that would suggest a concurrent malignant disease&#46; This case also reinforces the need for research for noninvasive blood tests that could identify neoplasms&#46; These tests would be extremely useful in such challenging clinical situations&#44; once the invasive alternative diagnostic approaches they have are highly risky&#46;</p></span><span id="sec0020" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0020">Conflicts of interest</span><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare&#46;</p></span></span>"

This is reflected in the present case&#44; as the patient had only a remote smoking history and had no on-going weight loss or other signs that would suggest a concurrent malignant disease&#46; This case also reinforces the need for research for noninvasive blood tests that could identify neoplasms&#46;
