Resumen

Ante la posibilidad de encontrar imágenes sospechosas de una metástasis pulmonar, como primera manifestación de una neoplasia, hemos analizado una serie de 100 casos elegidos al azar, todos ellos con el diagnóstico confirmado. En nuestra experiencia cerca del 60 % presentaban síntomas pleuropulmonares antes del año del comienzo de la sintomatología general, y en ocasiones el diagnóstico de la posible neoformación primitiva fue realizado por la presencia de imágenes radiológicas sospechosas de metástasis. No hallamos patrones radiológicos característicos atendiendo a cada grupo de las neoplasias primitivas.

Summary

The authors analyzed a series of 100 cases selected at random, all of them with confirmed diagnoses, given the possibility of finding suspicious images of a pulmonary metástasis as a first manifestation of a neoplasm. In their experience close to 60 % presented pleuropulmonary symptoms one year before the onset of general symptomatology, and in occasions the diagnosis of the possible primitive neoformaction was carried out by the presence of radiological images suspicious of metastasis. No characteristic radiological pattern were found attending each group primitive neoplasms.
