Joseph Donath, Kiran Chawla, Sunil Mehra, Victor Azueta
PMCID: PMC2571237  PMID: 3950988

Abstract

The lung is a frequent site of hematogenous metastases of many diverse tumors including soft-tissue sarcoma. The authors present a case with unilateral metastatic spread presenting as a giant lung mass, a pattern which, to the authors' knowledge, has not been reported in the literature.
