Cavitary lung metastases of mixed metaplastic breast cancer mimicking aspergilloma

We report a case of a 57‐year‐old woman with pulmonary metastasis of breast cancer presenting with a characteristic cavitary shadow resembling aspergilloma. The primary tumor and metastases showed multiple histopathologic components, including squamous cell carcinoma. Although a fungal ball‐like sha...
