Examples of Chest PathologyExamples of Chest Pathology

RML Consolidation (e.g. Pneumonia)

Left upper lung lobe consolidation (e.g. pneumonia)

Bilateral upper lung lobes consolidation (Patient was proven to have TB)

RUL (Collapse)

RML Collapse

Left Lung Abscess

Cystic Bronchiectasis

Central hilar mass (Bronchogenic Carcinoma)

Central hilar mass (Bronchogenic Carcinoma) (CT)

Peripheral Solitary Pulmonary Nodule (DD)

(In this case it was peripheral Bronchogenic Carcinoma)

Differential diagnosis (Solitary Pulmonary Nodule)

• Neoplasms – Lymphoma– Carcinoid– Hamartoma – Solitary metastasis.

• Inflammatory– Infective – granuloma, pneumonia or abscess.– Non-infective – rheumatoid arthritis, sarcoid, Wegener’s.

• Congenital – Arteriovenous malformation, pulmonary sequestration.

• Miscellaneous – Pulmonary infarct, rounded atelectasis.
