Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is an uncommon infiltrative pulmonary disease characterized by deposition of microliths in the alveoli. We present the case of a young adult with complaints of shortness of breath on exertion. Chest radiograph showed innumerable small, dense nodules, diffusely involving both the lungs - predominantly in the lower zones. High-resolution CT scan illustrated wides...

Minute pulmonary meningothelial-like nodules (MPMNs) are usually unique lesions in the lung parenchyma. Diffuse pulmonary meningotheliomatosis, which is presented as multiple MPMNs, has been less frequently described. MPMNs are mainly asymptomatic and are diagnosed after lung surgery or during autopsy. We report on a patient with multiple and bilateral pulmonary nodules, some of which were cavi...

abstract solitary pulmonary nodule (spn) is explained as a separate, well-determined obscurity with the maximum size of 3cm which is enclosed by typical lung tissue and is not related to any other anomalies in the lung or adjacent lymph nodes. among imaging modalities mri has more benefits such as high spatial resolution and usage of nonionizing radiation, however, the efficacy of this imaging ...

BACKGROUND Surgical resection of small pulmonary nodule is challenging via thoracoscopic procedure. We describe our experience of computed tomography (CT)-guided needle puncture localization of indeterminate pulmonary nodules prior to video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). METHODS From January 2011 to July 2014, 78 consecutive patients underwent CT-guided marking for the localization of...

OBJECTIVE To analyse the relationship between pulmonary nodules detected by radiologists using computed tomography and cumulative exposure to asbestos or asbestos-related pleuro-pulmonary diseases in 5662 asbestos-exposed subjects, and the relationship between pulmonary nodules and thoracic cancer, to determine whether a specific surveillance strategy based on cumulative asbestos exposure shoul...

A patient with pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma (PHG) is presented. PHG is a rare disease with very specific histological characteristics. Roentgenograms display multiple bilateral pulmonary nodules which may be cavitated. Evidence exists that the nodules are the result of an exaggerated chronic immune response. The course of the disease is generally favourable. PHG should be considered in patie...

Fundamental and clinical evaluation of chest CT imaging in detectability of pulmonary nodules was carried out in comparison with projection chest radiography including conventional screen-film system, advanced multiple beam equalization radiography (AMBER System), and computed radiography with imaging plate (CR). Detectability of simulated nodules in the fundamental study and of metastatic pulm...

Nowadays, small pulmonary nodules are easily detectable in patients with soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) because of highly improved computed tomography (CT) technologies. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency and significance of the pulmonary nodules detected by CT in high-grade STS patients. 124 patients with high-grade STS were retrospectively reviewed. There were 72 males (57%...
