ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
When crushed oral tablets are injected i.v., their filler material (excipient) can induce a potentially fatal foreign-body reaction in pulmonary arterioles, presenting as dyspnea and pulmonary hypertension with centrilobular nodules on CT. We will describe the imaging and pathologic features of "excipient lung disease."CONCLUSION:
The radiologist has a critical role in recognizing and reporting excipient lung disease because the referring clinician may be unaware of the patient's i.v. drug abuse.Palavras-chave
