[Lung metastases of uterine malignoma]

A retrospective analysis was made of a 10-year clinical material concerning uterine malignant tumours. Out of 502 patients treated in that period, 9 (1.79%) developed clinically diagnosed lung metastases. The occurrence of lung metastases from cervical carcinoma proved to be 1.35% (295 patients) and from endometrial carcinoma 2.33% (171 patients). Out of 36 patients with uterine sarcoma, one developed lung metastases (2.77%). The diagnosis of lung mestastases was made by X-ray and scintigraphy, and in their theraphy cytostatics were used with paliative results.
