A member asked:
My ct shows a 9.5 cm left hilar node with a low attenuation center. report adds no mediastinal adenopathy is seen. could you explain probable meaning?

Hard to tell...: ..without more information. It is good they did not see a lung mass or enlarged nodes in the mediastinum (the space between the lungs), but a 9 cm. hilar node (the area where the blood vessels enter the lung) is pretty big. A scan is usually done with a specific purpose so I suggest you talk to the physician who ordered it and discuss its implications and what's next for U. Hope it's nothing bad.
