Cavitary lung lesions are quite common findings on chest imaging and often pose a diagnostic challenge to the clinicians. We describe a case of a 75-year-old male who presented to the emergency room with
hemoptysis
. Computed tomography of the chest demonstrated multiple cavitary pulmonary nodules with peripheral groundglass opacities. Bronchoscopy did not reveal any active bleeding source, and washings were negative for malignancy and infectious cause.

papillary renal cell carcinoma
. This case highlights the unusual presentation of metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
