Management of Solitary Pulmonary Nodules
The workup and management of the solitary pulmonary nodule is an increasingly common and confounding clinical problem for which a uniformly accepted approach has yet to be established. Conventional radiologic literature has suggested a number of imaging characteristics of nodules such as size, cavitation, growth rate, and margin morphology to guide the physician in clinical management. More rec...
متن کاملThe Role of Nuclear Medicine in The Diagnosis and Management of Solitary Pulmonary Nodules
Solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) is a frequent finding on the chest x-ray and computed tomography. Nuclear medicine techniques play an important role in the diagnosis and management of SPN. In the current review, we briefly will explain the different nuclear medicine modalities in this regard including positron emission tomography (PET) using 18-F-FDG, and 11-C-Methionine, and single photon em...
متن کاملTemporal trends in the prevalence of malignancy in resected solitary pulmonary lesions.
STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine whether there has been an increase in the prevalence of malignancy among resected, indeterminate solitary pulmonary lesions (SPL) over the past 14 years. DESIGN A retrospective review of all thoracotomies for indeterminate SPLs from 1981 through 1994. SETTING A university-affiliated VA Medical Center.

متن کاملThe Value of LDH Level of BAL Fluid in Differentiating Benign from Malignant Solitary Pulmonary Nodules
Background: Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) concentration is an indicator for tissue injury. It may be secreted locally in many conditions. For the first time, this study was performed to investigate the value of LDH level in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in differentiation of benign from malignant single pulmonary nodules (SPNs) and to assess its relationship with serum LDH levels. Met...
متن کاملBacteriological studies of resected pulmonary tuberculosis lesions.
The solid lesions were enucleated and the cavities were sectioned for bacteriologic examinations. Materials obtained from small foci or clusters were handled separately. Fresh bronchial and pneumonic secretions were also examined. Direct smears were made from all of the materials studied. The “cold” staining technique (modified), based on the original Kinyoun method, was used. The materials fro...
