title: [Micronodular pulmonary infiltration as first manifestation of metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma].
abstract: Infectious diseases, as tuberculosis, and metastatic cancers are the main causes of multiple pulmonary micronodules on chest radiographs. Many cancers can produce this anomaly, but the most common are thyroid, melanoma and gastrointestinal (colon and pancreas). Hepatocellular carcinoma can produce lung metastasis, but seldom makes bilateral pulmonary micronodules. Here we present the case of a woman with a hepatocarcinoma that appeared as a bilateral micronodular disease on the chest radiograph.
