My CT shows there is a mildly enlarged right hilar lymph node measuring up to 1.3 cm in the short axis. A subcarinal calcified lymph node and a calcified right hilar lymph node are consistent with remote granulomatous. There is mild bilateral dependent atelectasis. A calcified sub-centimeter pulmonary nodule in the anterior right upper lob is consistent with remote granulomatous disease. Calcifications within the spleen are consistent with remote granulomatous disease. What does all this mean? A CT was done after a motorcycle wreck and this is what showed up and I talked to my family doctor and was told it s nothing to worry about and a new CT will be done in 6 mos to look for any changes. I do have Asthma, COPD a recent heart attack last June and my breathing test (PFT) was good, I have smoked for years and I am a 52 year old female. I fill 6 mos to look for changes is wrong so I called and now have an appointment with an Oncologist
Your CT report suggests that you have sequel of past infection in the form of calcified lymph nodes at described sites of lungs. Calcification suggests long standing lesions. It is not in active stage. There is also collapse of lung parenchyma in dependent regions(bilaterally). There is also calcification in spleen and like lungs it also shows past healed granulomatous lesions. If you don't have any problem, you need not to contact oncologist. It is not a case of carcinoma. Get well soon.
