Question 1

doctors note for my 12yrs daughter. patchy soft nodular shadowing is noted in the right lung with scattered nodules in the left mid zone. the largest has diameter of 2cm. thick walled cavity in left and right with radiographic diameters of 2.5cm ?

Accepted Answer

Diagnosis needed: many causes.

Doctor has to sort out.

Most probably tuberculosis or rarely fungal lesion of lung.

TB can be easily treated.

Question 2

implications of circular opacity in the left mid zone, vascular, as reported in the chest x-ray report.?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: First step would be to compare to an old cxr.  If no previous cxr for comparison then consider f/u in 6 weeks or ct scan of chest if the patient has risk factors.

Question 3

what does it mean my chest xray(coughing over 5 weeks) it says : there are minimal fine reticular interstitial densities of the lower zones consistent with fibrotic process. mid and upper zone clear?

Accepted Answer

: Early Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) can't be ruled out by this report and likely your doctor will order for more tests such as CT scan of the chest and pulmonary function test (PFT) if chronic cough is your only symptom. However, this finding could be present if you had gotten a significant pulmonary infection in the month before and chest X-ray was done because of a lingering cough.

Question 4

chest x-ray showed fibronodular opacities in right upper & left mid zone. had tb 4 yrs back, are these scars from earlier tb ? can this be removed ?

Accepted Answer

This is a Complex Qu: This is a complex issue. Yes, TB can and often does cause fibrosis/nodular changes which typically regress partially or complete once a full course of treatment has been taken.. There is of course risk of recurrence of TB. So we have to find out if your lung changes are left over of the older TB or are these new changes(progression). For this you need to go back to the doctor who treated your TB.

Question 5

had chest xray a mild perihilar patch consolidation found on mid left lung..now supraclavicular node swollen left side and more wheezy .is itcancer?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily....: Nodes enlarge from not just malignancy but also from inflammation or infectious processes....Your symptoms don't exclude a simple or worsening upper respiratory infection.  If you smoke...Quit...Nothing good comes from smoking except for cancer scares, cancer and a poor pocketbook/wallet and use this scare to motivate you to quit. Meanwhile follow up with your primary physician for your issues.

Question 6

what is mid-outer lung minute nodulocalcific granuloma?

Accepted Answer

Nothing serious: most likely you have a spot on your chest x Ray or your Ct scan and they diagnosed the spot as a benign granule a apparently it is small and it is calcified unless you are smoker do not worry if you are smoker make sure your doctor keep the eye on your lungs and follow with chest x Ray

Question 7

pain in mid left back lung cancer?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: But get evaluated. Most is spine or musculoskeletal.

Question 8

what does linear density in right mid lung area and left upper lung field mean?

Accepted Answer

If you are: talking about a chest xray finding, usually this means a lung scar(from prior infection or trauma) or a small region of atelectasis(collapse), often seen in asthma exacerbations and similar acute processes.

Question 9

what is the meaning of reticulohazy densities are seen in the right mid lung field?

Accepted Answer

: There is something that may not normal in your x-Ray.  But I cannot comment with out seeing them. Discuss with Dr who ordered them. I do not know what is normal in the Philippines.  They do.  Best to compare to previous X Ray.

Question 10

what is a layman's description of small cell stage 4 lung cancer and survival rate of patient agreed mid 30's?

Accepted Answer

Unpredictable: Do not expect a cure, but a good response to chemotherapy is likely and may give several good years.
