Metastasis: Cavitary Lung Parenchyma Lesion
Cancers are sorted by a combination of rarity, overall frequency of metastases, and predilection for this site.
Cancer | Frequency | Comments |
Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma | (Primary Tumor) | 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 | by far, the most common site of metastasis |
