Cavitary pulmonary metastases from vulvar carcinoma.
A patient with vulvar carcinoma and multiple cavitary pulmonary metastases was diagnosed by transbronchial lung biopsy. The patient had no pulmonary symptoms, and the lesions regressed radiographically with combination chemotherapy. Although unusual, vulvar carcinoma can metastasize to distant organs.
