Overview

An x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of lung mass. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of lung mass include rounded or spiculated mass, bulky hilum, and lobar collapse.

X ray

An x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of lung mass. On an x-ray, lung mass may appear as hyperdense pulmonary mass or cavitating pulmonary mass. The characteristic findings of lung mass, include:[1]

  • Rounded or spiculated mass
  • Bulky hilum (representing the tumor and local nodal involvement)
  • Lobar collapse
  • Cavitation may be seen as an air-fluid level
  • Pleural effusion
