Overview
On chest X-ray, Goodpasture syndrome is characterized by parenchymal consolidations that are most often present in both lungs, perihilar, and bibasilar. When pulmonary hemorrhage is recurrent an interstitial pattern is observed.
X Ray
- On chest X-ray, Goodpasture syndrome is characterized by parenchymal consolidations.[1][2]
- Patients with Goodpasture syndrome have parenchymal consolidations from autoantibody induced inflammatory lesions that are most often present bilaterally in both lungs, the perihilar, and bibasilar regions.
- Unusual locations for parenchymal consolidations include the apices and the costophrenic angles.[3]
- Patients with Goodpasture's however, may not show any signs of parenchymal consolidation, during the early stage of disease and in fact 18% of patients may present with no abnormal findings.[4]
- When pulmonary hemorrhage is recurrent an interstitial pattern is observed.
