X-ray Diagnosis of Solitary Globular Lesion of Lung / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To promote the understanding of X-ray examination in the diagnosis of solitary globular lesion of lung.Methods Of 402 cases with solitary globular lung lesion, 398 were proved by operation,pathology and 4 cases of lung abscess were proved by clinical therapy. Anteroposterior radiogrphs were taken in all cases;lateral radiogrphs were taken in 368 cases.Results Of these cases ,there were peripheral lung cancer 96,tuberculoma 33,lung echinococcosis 253, lung abscess 9, pulmonary metastatic carcinoma 3.There were no characteristic signs in the rare diseases. Therefore , it's difficult to diagnose these lesions. The rare diseases include inflammatory pseudotumor 2, pulmonary hamartoma 2 , lung sarcoma 2 , pneumoblastoma 1 and lung fibroma 1. Conclusion X-ray examination is important in the diagnosis of solitary globular lung lesion.
