[Frequency of abdominal metastases in bronchogenic carcinoma].
In the retrospective study, 210 patients with diagnosed bronchogenic carcinoma have been managed during four years period. In this group there were 23 patients with abdominal metastases; 21 with liver metastases and 2 with adrenal metastases. Abdominal metastatic lesions were diagnosed by ultrasonography and CT. With the patients with liver metastases, 4 of them had solitary lesion, and remaining 17 patients had multiple metastases. In the same group, 8 patients had planocellulary cancer, 5 microcellulary cancer, 3 had confirmed anaplastic cancer, and 5 patients were without pathohistologically confirmed findings. In one case of adrenal metastases planocellulary cancer was found, and in another case of adrenal metastases pathohistological diagnosis was unknown. The authors concluded that ultrasonography and CT were the methods of choice in diagnostics liver and adrenal glands metastases with the patients with bronchogenic carcinoma.
