[A case of endometrium adenocarcinoma with multiple cavitary pulmonary metastasis]. Tuberk Toraks. 2018 Dec;66(4):349-352 Authors: Vayısoğlu Şahin G, Karadeniz G, Polat G, Demirci Üçsular F, Aydoğdu Z, Yalnız E Abstract Pulmonary metastases are usually seen as parenchymal nodules, lymphatic-interstitial spread and pleural effusion, however cavitary and cystic metastatic lesions are rare. While breast cancer, gastrointestinal tumors, kidney tumors, malignant melanoma, sarcomas, lymphoma and leukemia mostly metastasize to the lung, endometrial adenocarcinoma rarely metastasizes. A 73-year-old woman with multiple cystic-cavitary lung lesions was referred to our clinic because of chronic cough. She had endometrial adenocarcinoma metastasis to the lung. We wanted to present our case because of the rare occurrence of cystic-cavitary lung metastases and the rare presentation of metastasis of endometrial carcinomas to the lung.
