Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 28582
  • Image ID: 6528901
  • Image stack position: 9/88
  • Plane projection: Coronal
  • Aux modality: C+ CTPA
  • Study description: CT pulmonary angiography
  • Study findings: Numerous intrapulmonary cysts, the largest measuring 3 cm in the left lower lobe. Left upper lobe ground glass opacity occupies most of the apical segment. Regional cysts demonstrate air-fluid levels. Several pulmonary nodules: 17 x 14mm right lower lobe anterior segment (image 23 se 6); this nodule is of fluid attenuation 7 x 7mm right upper lobe (image 14 se 6) 6 x 6mm right apex (image 9 se 6) 7 x 6mm right lower lobe anterior basal segment (image 25 se 6) No thoracic lymphadenopathy. Moderately severe cardiomegaly. Dense pleural calcification, right medial basal region. Mild central pulmonary arterial dilation. 2 low attenuation hepatic lesions: 14mm segment 2 anterior subcapsular, 8mm segment 7 posterior subcapsular CONCLUSION: Appearances suggest lymphoid interstitial pneumonia. The left upper lobe GGO has a relatively wide DDx including hemorrhage and less likely aspiration or infection. Malignancy is considered unlikely. Pulmonary hypertension.
  • Modality: CT
  • System: Chest
  • Findings: There is a patchy airspace infiltrate in the left upper zone.
