摘要
OBJECTIVE. The purposes of this article are to summarize the relevant literature on aerogenous metastasis, explain the putative pathogenetic mechanism of aerogenous spread, present the characteristic imaging and pathologic features, and review the importance of aerogenous spread to staging and clinical management. CONCLUSION. Cumulative evidence suggests that aerogenous spread may exist and is underrecognized. Imaging features are helpful in differentiating possible aerogenous spread of tumor from hematogenous and lymphatic metastases and from synchronous primary tumors. The putative occurrence of intrapulmonary aerogenous metastasis of lung cancer has staging, management, and prognostic implications.
