Abstract

We report a case of a cystic metastasis to the lung from an angiosarcoma of the scalp in a 75-year-old man who complained of hemoptysis. A chest CT scan showed multiple thin-walled pulmonary cysts, bilateral pneumothoraces, small nodules and pneumomediastinum. Histologic examination revealed pleural infiltration of angiosarcoma cells. One month later, a high-resolution CT scan showed that the cysts had rapidly developed into large lesions.
