Plain x-ray of the chest may be done to see if the sarcoma has spread to the lungs. It is an affordable and useful imaging study in patients who present with pulmonary symptoms. In such cases, nodules can be detected with simple chest radiograph. Detection of the presence or suspected presence of a nodule on chest X-ray is an indication for computed tomography (CT). The CT helps to assess the number and location of nodules in the lungs, invasion of the mediastinum and pleura, as well as spread to hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes. For the routine follow-up, there is no need for CT of the chest, because it has a lower specificity than chest X-rays.

Overview

Plain x-ray of the chest may be done to see if the sarcoma has spread to the lungs. It is an affordable and useful imaging study in patients who present with pulmonary symptoms. In such cases, nodules can be detected with simple chest radiograph. Detection of the presence or suspected presence of a nodule on chest X-ray is an indication for computed tomography (CT). The CT helps to assess the number and location of nodules in the lungs, invasion of the mediastinum and pleura, as well as spread to hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes. For the routine follow-up, there is no need for CT of the chest, because it has a lower specificity than chest X-rays.

Chest X Ray

Chest radiography (CXR) may be helpful in the diagnosis and follow up of pulmonary metastasis of Leiomyosarcoma.[1]
