Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the CT thorax report you have mentioned.
It says that you are having left hilar lymphnode.
Hilum is the structure where mediastinal lymphnodes are seen.
You are having isolated mediastinal lymphnode enlargement (42*30mm).
Most commonly it is seen in tuberculosis. Other causes are sarcoidosis, histoplasmosis and lymphoma (cancer).
So we need to biopsy that lymphnode to identify the cause.
For biopsy, you need to consult interventional pulmonologist who perform such procedures.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
