[Multiple lung cancer with cavity; report of a case].
A case of multiple lung cancer with cavity was reported. Chest X-ray and chest computed tomography (CT) showed two abnormal shadows with consolidation in the right S1 and S2b. The shadow in S2b had a cavity. Right upper lobectomy and right middle lobe partial resection was performed and the histopathological examination revealed adenocarcinoma. This case deserves attention of difficulty in differentially diagnosis on the chest X-ray and chest CT from pulmonary tuberculosis.
