Abstract
A woman with metastatic ovarian carcinoma developed postoperative respiratory failure due to interstitial lung metastases demonstrated by bronchoalveolar lavage. After chemotherapy, she was able to be removed from mechanical ventilation and has shown progressive resolution of her interstitial lung disease. Metastatic ovarian carcinoma can be a treatable etiology of life-threatening interstitial lung disease.
