15 Σεπ 2020 · Lung cysts are the most common mimics of lung cavities and present as round parenchymal lucencies with a well-defined thin wall (<2 mm thickness). Emphysema presents as focal areas of low attenuation without visible walls on CT.
The cavity wall varies in thickness depending on the underlying pathology but typically measures at least 2 mm. Cysts, on the other hand, are usually thin-walled (,2 mm). Pathologically, a cavity arises from liquefactive necrosis and subsequent expulsion of debris via the bronchial tree.
5 Μαρ 2018 · Cavities are found relatively frequently in primary lung cancer, with an incidence of up to 11% on plain chest radiographs 104 and up to 22% on CT scans. 105 Woodring et al 106,107 suggested that the maximum wall thickness of the cavity can help differentiate between malignant and nonmalignant causes, with a maximum wall thickness > 15 mm ...

2 Οκτ 2023 · A cavitary lung lesion is defined radiographically as a lucent area contained within a consolidation, mass, or nodule. It is further characterized by thick walls of greater than 4 mm. 3,4 The differential for these lesions is broad and includes both infectious and non-infectious causes.
1 Ιουν 2018 · A-B, Coronal (A) and axial (B) CT scan images obtained in a 66-year-old man demonstrating a thick-walled cavitary mass with an irregular internal wall in the superior segment of the left lower lobe. Pathologic test results helped confirm primary squamous cell carcinoma of the lung.
Wall thickness <4 mm has been shown to be caused by benign processes while thickness >15 mm are usually malignant. We describe the case of a former smoker in whom an infection was masking a cavitary squamous cell carcinoma of the lung.
