Abstract:
We report two cases of pathologically proven pulmonary metastases presenting as pulmonary infarction with tumour emboli. In two cases, high-resolution CT showed multiple small subpleural consolidations in both lungs. The patients had breast cancer and uterine cervix cancer, respectively. Although various pulmonary diseases show subpleural consolidations on CT, pulmonary metastases by tumour emboli should be primarily considered in differential diagnosis especially when the patient has known malignancy.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
