Massive cavitation of solid pulmonary metastatic lesions in a breast cancer patient: a case report.
A 40-year-old female with metastatic breast cancer developed multiple lung nodules some of them with cavitations. Following treatment with Taxol/Herceptin most of the lesions disappeared and in many cavity lesions appeared. There was no further change in the appearance of lung lesions.
