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.
肺转移瘤通常表现为实质结节、淋巴间质播散和胸腔积液,然而空洞性和囊性转移瘤少见。乳腺癌、胃肠道肿瘤、肾肿瘤、恶性黑色素瘤、肉瘤、淋巴瘤和白血病大多转移至肺,而子宫内膜腺癌很少转移至肺。一名73岁患有多发肺囊性空洞病变的女性因慢性咳嗽转诊至我院。她患有子宫内膜腺癌肺转移。鉴于肺囊性空洞转移罕见以及子宫内膜癌肺转移的表现罕见,我们特此报告该病例。
