Multiple variably-sized masses are seen in all lung fields. Multiple variably-sized tan rounded masses are seen in all lung fields. These multiple nodules are characteristic for metastatic carcinoma. Metastases to the lungs are more common even than primary lung neoplasms simply because so many other primary tumors can metastasize to the lungs. Even the hilar nodes in this photograph demonstrate nodules of metastatic carcinoma. The nodules are often scattered in the peripheral lung and do not cause major obstruction.
