Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 34386
  • Image ID: 11123446
  • Plane projection: Chest pa
  • Modality: X-ray
  • System: Chest
  • Findings: There is consolidation within the left lower lobe. Within this region there are at least two well defined lucencies which are concerning for cavitation. There is a calcified curvilinear structure within the right middle lobe of uncertain significance. Right upper lobe opacification could be due to fibrotic change although a degree of upper lobe collapse is not excluded. Retrocardiac midline lucencies are consistent with a hiatus hernia. Small pleural effusion of the left. The heart size is within normal limits. Conclusion: Left lower lobe consolidation with lucencies that may represent cavitation in this setting. Further evaluation with CT suggested.
