Abstract
- When pulmonary nodules are detected in children receiving chemotherapy for osteosarcoma, it is often assumed that they have metastatic disease. However, these pulmonary nodules do not always represent metastatic disease. There are considerable similarities in the computed tomography (CT) images of benign pulmonary nodules and those of malignant nodules. Therefore, we have to be careful when diagnosing pulmonary metastases based on chest CT scan alone. We report a case of benign multiple pulmonary nodules in a patient with osteosarcoma.
