ABSTRACT
Pulmonary nodules present a diagnostic challenge when they appear as atypical metastases in pediatric oncology patients. Chest computed tomography (CT) is the primary imaging modality for assessing lung nodules. In pediatric populations, Wilms tumor and osteosarcoma are the cancers most likely to produce pulmonary metastasis, both typical and atypical. This pictorial essay provides a thorough description of the specific radiologic features of atypical pediatric pulmonary metastases, and their pathogenesis and differential diagnosis. We also address diagnostic approaches to incidental lung nodules in healthy children found in the literature. Our aim is to help radiologists identify atypical lung metastases on CT, ensuring that children receive prompt, and potentially lifesaving, treatment.
