Summary:

Description	Radiopaedia case ID: 25796 Image ID: 5050504 Image stack position: 51/60 Aux modality: C+ arterial phase Study findings: There is a large peripherally based mass in the left lower lobe, measuring 7.8 x 4.4 x 8.4 cm. This shows central cavitation, and mild surrounding groundglass opacity. Multiple smaller pulmonary nodules are seen extending medially toward the hilum with a peribronchovascular distribution, and there is extensive left hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy which shows some central low attenuation. A subcarinal lymph node measures 3.8 x 2.7 cm and an aortopulmonary lymph node measures 3.6 x 1.9 cm. Left upper lobe and the right lung is clear, with no airspace opacity or pulmonary lesions. Bilateral apical subpleural bullae, left greater than right. No pneumothorax or pleural effusion. No rib changes. No suspicious expansile or destructive osseous lesions. The visualized upper abdominal viscera are unremarkable. Modality: CT System: Chest Findings: There is a large cavitating lesion within the left lower lobe, with smaller pulmonary lesions extending to the hilum. Left hilar lymphadenopathy is noted. The right lung is clear. The cardiac silhouette is not enlarged. The differentials would include infection and a neoplastic process.
