Case Discussion
Cavitating pulmonary metastases refer to pulmonary metastases which then tend to cavitate.
The commonest pulmonary metastases to cavitate are those from squamous cell primaries, such as from the head and neck.
When there are multiple cavitating lesions pulmonary metastases are most likely, although there is a wide differential diagnosis - CAVITY.
