    AbstractWe report two cases of pathologically proven pulmonary metastases presenting as pulmonary infarction with tumour emboli. In two cases, high-resolution CT showed multiple small subpleural consolidations in both lungs. The patients had breast cancer and uterine cervix cancer, respectively. Although various pulmonary diseases show subpleural consolidations on CT, pulmonary metastases by tumour emboli should be primarily considered in differential diagnosis especially when the patient has known malignancy.© 2012 The Authors.
