Value of chest computed tomography in genitourinary malignancies.
Fifty-one patients with genitourinary malignancies with normal chest x-ray films all had chest computerized tomography in an attempt to detect metastatic disease. One patient with a hypernephroma and another with a bladder carcinoma had metastatic nodules detected. One patient with a testicular tumor had a histologically confirmed benign nodule. Chest computerized tomography should be performed on patients with tumors that have a high likelihood of metastasizing to the lung.
