Genitourinary tract neoplasms pulmonary metastases

summary

54 patients were treated for malignant neoplasms of the genitourinary system organs
in whom pulmonary metastases were also diagnosed. In 16 (30%) patients pulmonary
metastatic foci were diagnosed as early as the diagnosis of the neoplastic disease. In 6
11%) patients metastases appeared 2-3 months after the diagnosis and in 32 (59%
patients metastatic lesions in the lungs appeared more then 6 months after the first
diagnosis. 14% of patients were found to have pulmonary lesions of the lymphangitis
carcinomatosa type. The tumour giving pulmonary metastases most often was kidney
carcinoma (32 patients - 59%).
