CTICasesPost-Obstructive Pneumonia due to Adenocarcinoma
[...]. Post-Obstructive Pneumonia due to Adenocarcinoma. CTICases. Published April 27, 2019. https://cticases.com/c/j5rmp
Imaging findings
Chest radiographs show right upper lobe consolidation initially interpreted as simple pneumonia. Repeat radiograph two months later shows worsening consolidation and new right paratracheal lymphadenopathy. CT demonstrates a right upper lobe adenocarcinoma causing airway obstruction and post-obstructive pneumonia.
Key takeaways
Pneumonia that fails to resolve or is associated with hilar/mediastinal lymphadenopathy should prompt evaluation for an underlying obstructing lesion, such as lung cancer, particularly in older patients.
