Overview
X ray
An x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of lung mass. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of lung mass include hyperdense pulmonary mass or cavitating pulmonary mass.
- On plain radiograph, characteristic findings of lung mass, include:[1]
- Rounded or spiculated mass
- Bulky hilum (representing the tumor and local nodal involvement)
- Lobar collapse
- Cavitation may be seen as an air-fluid level
- Pleural effusion
