A member asked:
I have pneumonia, my chest x-ray is showing a hilar mass or hilar lymphadenopathy. would this be caused my the pneumonia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk to your doctor: This is a potentially very severe situation. The adenopathy or hilar mass may be causing a post-obstructive pneumonia, or the hilar lesions and the pulmonary infiltrates may be part of a single entity such as sarcoidosis. This should be discussed at length with the doctor caring for you.
