Extensive bilateral pleural metastatic disease is noted coating the parietal surfaces and extending into the pulmonary fissures.
Moderate right pleural effusion.
Case Discussion
Cannon-ball pulmonary metastases may be seen in a variety of conditions. After diagnosis, the patient tended not to be referred for more evaluation and left untreated so the primary origin of metastasis was not identified.
