Pulmonary lacunae: sequelae of metastases following chemotherapy.
This study describes the appearance of thin-walled cavities arising at the sites of pulmonary metastases from germ cell tumours treated with chemotherapy. We have termed these 'pulmonary lacunae'. They occur with a prevalence of approximately 7% in patients with multiple pulmonary metastases from testicular teratoma.
