ANSWER:
The chest ct
on the previous page indicates there is a mass-like density surrounding
the right hilum which may represent a combination of parenchymal consolidation
and lymph nodes. A large area of the right lung is opacified with bronchiectatic-like
lesions which have a more sacular contour peripherally. This may present
abscess formation.
These findings may suggest an infectious process and, although a neoplastic
process is possible, it is less likely.
