Overview

Chest radiography (CXR) may be helpful in the diagnosis of pulmonary metastasis of choriocarcinoma. The characteristic findings of pulmonary metastasis are peripheral, rounded nodules of variable size scattered throughout both lungs.

Chest X-ray

Chest radiography (CXR) may be helpful in the diagnosis of pulmonary metastasis of choriocarcinoma. The characteristic findings of pulmonary metastasis are peripheral, rounded nodules of variable size scattered throughout both lungs.[1]
