Overview
Findings on CT are often related to complications of histoplasmosis and include: Calcified mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes and bronchial occlusion with intrabronchial broncholith.
CT Findings
- In the majority of patients, CT scans are unremarkable.
- Findings on CT are often related to complications of histoplasmosis and include:[1]
- Soft tissue masses with calcification (most common)
- Calcified mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes
- Bronchial occlusion with intrabronchial broncholith[2]
