Abstract
We describe 2 cases of cavitary lung metastasis from bladder cancer an d retrospectively analyze the frequency of such an event in our enviro nment. Although rare, this finding is not exceptional and should be ta ken into account when clinicians and oncologists face the differential diagnosis of pulmonary cavitation. Moreover, a cavitary pulmonary nod ule may also be the presenting sign of bladder cancer.
