Abstract

Cystic and cavitatory pulmonary lesions are abnormalities encountered on chest computed tomography (CT). Malignant lesions, including metastases, rarely present as cystic lesions; we report on two such cases: a man with advanced carcinoma of the left testis, and a woman with epithelioid trophoblastic tumour.
