Metastasis: Lung Parenchyma Lesion

Cancers are sorted by a combination of rarity, overall frequency of metastases, and predilection for this site. Change metastases list to be ungrouped by characteristic.

 

Cavitary

CancerFrequencyComments
Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (Primary Tumor) adult BAC presents as a single or multiple consolidations (in early stages, it appears as a ground-glass opacity). SCC is more likely to cavitate.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck Common adult by far, the most common site of metastasis
Cervical Cancer Uncommon adult SCC lung metastases can cavitate

Central

CancerFrequencyComments
Small Cell Lung Cancer (Primary Tumor) adult the mass is typically central and may invade the mediastinum

Consolidation

CancerFrequencyComments
Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (Primary Tumor) adult BAC presents as a single or multiple consolidations (in early stages, it appears as a ground-glass opacity). SCC is more likely to cavitate.
Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma Uncommon adult bronchoalveolar metastases appear as consolidation, while classical lung cancers will just appear as nodules (or lymphangiitic spread)
Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Rare adultchild
Hodgkin's Lymphoma Rare adultchild can also invade locally from the hilum or mediastinum. Most common pattern is nodules.

Lymphangiitic

CancerFrequencyComments
Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma Uncommon adult bronchoalveolar metastases appear as consolidation, while classical lung cancers will just appear as nodules (or lymphangiitic spread)
Hodgkin's Lymphoma Rare adultchild can also invade locally from the hilum or mediastinum. Most common pattern is nodules.

Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Common adult most common site for first distant metastasis
Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma Common adult
Adrenal Cortical Carcinoma Common adult
Cervical Cancer Uncommon adult SCC lung metastases can cavitate
Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Uncommon adult
Osteosarcoma Common adultchild by far the most common site.
