The 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 کاملPulmonary Nodular Lymphoid Hyperplasia: A Rare Case Mimicking Malignancy
Pulmonary nodular lymphoid hyperplasia (PNLH) is a reactive lymphoid proliferation manifesting as multiple solitary nodules or localized infiltrates in the lungs. It is a type of benign lymphoproliferative disease that can affect the lungs. We present the case of a 41-year-old female patient with respiratory symptoms such as productive cough, left chest pain, and dyspnea. Imaging findings revea...
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 کاملMimicking pulmonary multiple metastatic tumors: A case of primary nodular parenchymal pulmonary amyloidosis with review of the literature.
Primary pulmonary amyloidosis is a relatively rare condition, characterized by amyloid deposition in the lungs and other associated structures. We report a case of primary nodular parenchymal pulmonary amyloidosis in a 44-year-old male. The patient was referred to our hospital for further evaluation of multiple lobulated nodules in both lungs. As the multiple lung nodules were suspected to be m...
متن کاملAn unusual cause of pulmonary nodules in a patient with relapsing polychondritis.
Pulmonary nodules are defined by a size 3 cm, whereas a lung mass is defined by a size 3 cm. Excellent clinical practice guidelines for evaluating patients with a solitary pulmonary nodule for possible lung cancer have been published.1,2 The appearance of pulmonary nodules in an immunocompromised host is a common clinical problem that falls outside the scope of published algorithms. Because the...
