Lung metastasis is an uncommon cause of multiple cavitary lung lesions. Herein, we report a case of multiple cavitary lung lesions of colorectal cancer that responded to chemotherapy. An 81-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for abdominal pain. Computed tomography revealed multiple cavitary lung lesions. The patient was diagnosed with lung metastases from colorectal cancer with a lower gastrointestinal endoscopy and bronchoscopy. Following chemotherapy, the cavitary lung lesions shrank. Lung metastases from colorectal cancer may appear as multiple cavitary lung lesions, which may be misdiagnosed as infections. Clinicians should consider lung metastases when multiple cavitary lung lesions are detected.

Background: It has been shown that cavitary lesions on CT scans of patients with COVID-19 may be related to their clinical symptoms and mortality rate.
Materials And Methods: The study population included patients diagnosed with COVID-19 based on RT-PCR results from throat samples or typical clinical and chest CT scan findings who were hospitalized at Sina Hospital in Tehran in 2020 and underwent chest CT scans. Chest CT scans were examined for the severity of pulmonary opacities and the presence, number, size, wall thickness, and distribution of cavitary lung lesions.

A 9-year-old neutered male cairn terrier dog was initially presented because of inappetence, increased respiratory effort, and occasional coughing. A cavitary lung mass was diagnosed using CT and removed with lung lobectomy. Histopathology of the mass revealed necrosuppurative inflammation with acid-fast rod bacteria in macrophages, with spp.

Diagnosing non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) in patients unable to produce sputum spontaneously requires invasive procedures to obtain valid respiratory specimens. In this retrospective study, we evaluated the results of microbiological tests performed on respiratory samples of 132 patients affected by NTM-PD. In the diagnostic workout, 98 patients performed both induced sputum (IS) and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and were enrolled in our study.
