Abstract

Pulmonary metastases present a wide spectrum of radiological findings, some of which have been known to be useful for analogizing the possible origin or site of primary tumors. In the present report, we describe a unique case of pulmonary metastasis manifesting on chest computed tomography as multiple nodules with tortuous, serpentine, aneurysmal, dilated, inner intratumoral vessels. The metastasis originated from uterine sarcoma.

악성 종양으로부터의 폐전이는 다양한 범위의 영상학적 소견을 보인다. 폐전이의 몇 가지 특징들에서는 종양의 원발 위치를 유추할 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 흉부 전산화단층촬영에서 다수의 전이성 폐 결절 내부에 구불구불하게 늘어난 혈관들을 보이는, 독특한 양상의 자궁 육종 폐전이 1예를 경험하였기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.
