multiple round nodules in peripheral pulmonary parenchyma (here)
Explanation:
Multiple peripheral nodules suggestive of metastatic nodules in this case.


"par analogie, dans le jargon médical, désigne la présence sur une radiographie de thorax de nombreuses formes arrondies grises se détachant du fond noir des poumons. Cet aspect peut se rencontrer au cours de diverses pathologies1 cancéreuses (métastases pulmonaires), infectieuses (tuberculose), inflammatoires (sarcoïdose) ou secondaires à des médicaments (bléomycine)."
-http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lâcher_de_ballons

"L’aspect en lâcher de ballons pulmonaire est une donnée radiologique définie par des opacités parenchymateuses pulmonaires multiples, périphériques, à limites floues. Si l’existence de métastases pulmonaires reste la première étiologie à envisager, il en existe bien d’autres dont le pronostic n’est pas aussi sombre."

agree  Tom Stanford: I think "scattered" is better than "multiple" to convey the idea of a pattern of nodules suggestive of metastasis (lâcher de ballons). "in peripheral parenchyma" may be added, but "scattered" would seem to suggest involvement of peripheral parenchyma.
