“…1 The other non-malignant differential diagnosis could be various fungal infection, bacterial infections like Klebsiella and Staphylococcus pneumonia, Wegener's granulomatosis and other vascular disorders, parasitic infections, hydatid disease, rheumatoid nodules (necrobiotic nodules) and occasionally pulmonary tuberculosis. 2 Cavitation of primary lung cancer has been detected in 2-16% and 22% cases of primary lung cancer by plain chest X-ray and CT respectively. 3 Cavitation in metastatic tumor is detected by plain chest radiograph in upto 4% cases.…”

Multiple large round well circumscribed pulmonary nodules in lungs are known as cannon ball secondaries. There are malignant and non-malignant causes of cannon ball secondaries. In case of malignancy, they represent classical haematogenous dissemination to the lungs of a primary malignant tumor. Secondaries to lung from renal cell carcinoma and choriocarcinoma are necrotic. The less common primary tumors causing cannon ball secondaries to lung includes prostate carcinoma, synovial sarcoma, endometrial carcinoma and some gastrointestinal malignancies. Here we presented a very rare case, maybe first of its kind of multiple cavitating cannon ball secondaries where primary malignancy was in lung itself which was EGFR positive adenocarcinoma lung. This case was also rare as cavitation is largely a feature of squamous cell carcinoma lung both of primary and metastatic lung malignancy.
