What Does My Chest CT Scan Result After Surviving Tonsil Cancer Indicate?
I am a Tonsil (SSC) Cancer survivor and have CT scans now annually. I have CT done for neck and chest. This year there were findings in the chest that were not found in my last scan 1 year ago This was the findings and can you give me an idea of what do they mean ? Thank You FINDINGS: No mediastinal, hilar, or axillary adenopathy is identified.Coronary artery calcifications are present. There is minimal bilateral gynecomastia. No pleural or pericardial effusion is identified. No discrete pulmonary nodule is identified. There is a tiny amount of linear opacity in the posterior right lower lobe, suggesting atelectasis or fibrosis

Hello ,
based on the information you provided your CT scan shows that there are no enlarged lymph nodes in your thoracic and axillary regions . It means that there are no CT signs of lymph node or lung metastasys . The CT scan shows probably fibrosis of a lung segment due to previos pulmonary disease ( like pneumonia) . As a conclusion this is a normal CT scan . Congarts !
