The report suggests that there is a disorder with involvement of the interstitial (supporting structures of the lung) along with a few nodularities in the lung parenchyma (substance). The diagnosis of lymphangitis carcinoma to sis would suggest that it's secondary to some malignancy.. the primary malignancy needs to be found out..
