Is a well-defined, thick-walled cavity in the lung suggestive of a lung abscess?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. I have reviewed your reports (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity). IVP (intravenous pyelogram) X-ray shows a normal right kidney and ureter, a duplex collecting system involving the left kidney with a partial duplication of the ureter. The duplicated ureters are fused at the distal end. The bladder is normal, and both the ureters have normal insertion into the bladder.

A frontal chest X-ray shows a cavitary lesion in the upper lobe of the left lung with an air-fluid level. There is evidence of surrounding homogenous opacification, indicating ground opacification or fibrosis that appears like a lung abscess. If you have a fever, I suggest you get a CT (computed tomography) scan.

I hope this helps.

Kindly revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.

IVP stands for intravenous pyelography. The X-ray shows that the rest of the lung parenchyma is normal, the cardiac shadow is within normal limits, the costophrenic angles are free, the domes of the diaphragm are normal, and the visualized skeleton appears normal.

I hope this helps.

It is a mixed lesion, and the shape is round.

I hope this helps.
