Overview
An x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of Caplan Syndrome. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of Caplan Syndrome include well defined round , cavitating nodules with the diameter of 0.5-5cm.
Chest X Ray
- Chest radiology shows multiple, round, well defined nodules, usually 0.5-2.0 cm in diameter, which may show cavitation and resemble tuberculosis[1]
- Emphysematous changes might be seen.
- Occasional pleural effusion can be present.
- Usually no pleural thickness is detected.
- No change in heart size.
