The general practitioner gave her a non-specific antibiotic therapy with low benefit and then a steroid therapy with improvement in symptoms. At the time of our observation, she underwent a total-body CT scan which showed "a series of lung nodules distributed in all lobes; a solid slab in the mantle of the apical segment of the left lower lobe; several small adenomegalies in the anterior mediastinum, around the trachea and below aorta artery; no evidence of effusion in the pleural cavity" in the thorax (Figure 1). The CT scan showed the "presence of enlarged lymph nodes in the following areas: celiac/pancreatic lombo-aortical, bilateral internal iliac, bilateral obturator, bilateral external iliac and bilateral inguinal" in the abdomen.
