Imaging findings
A lung cancer screening CT revealed extensive findings, including left upper lobe collapse, a large mass in the hilum and a bronchial lesion, evidence of mediastinal invasion, and additional large nodules in the right upper lobe and elsewhere.
Key takeaways
Lung cancer screening programs can identify advanced disease, even in patients who may be minimally symptomatic. Findings can include lobar collapse, large hilar/bronchial masses, mediastinal invasion, and multiple metastatic nodules, warranting a definitive diagnosis and staging for appropriate management. This represents a highly positive screening case (Lung-RADS category 5 or 6).
