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.
15 Σεπ 2020 · In this review article, we describe a comprehensive approach for evaluation of cavitary lung lesions and discuss the differential diagnosis in the light of radiological findings. Radiology & imaging, chest imaging, CT, thoracic medicine, adult thoracic medicine.

1 Ιουν 2018 · A chronic process (≥ 12 weeks) suggests mycobacterial, fungal, viral, or parasitic infections; malignancy (primary lung cancer or metastases); or autoimmune disorders (rheumatoid arthritis and granulomatosis with polyangiitis).
19 Νοε 2016 · The wall thickness of the cavitary lung lesions in solitary disease can be useful in differentiating between benign and malignant disorders. A recent study found that a wall thickness of less than 7 mm was highly specific for benign disease, and a thickness of greater than 24 mm was highly specific for malignant disease.
