- Peripheral, pleura-based and perifissural nodules
Perifissural lymph nodes have been well-described and may have specific appearances that allow a confident diagnosis of intraparenchymal lymph nodes The same applies to lymph nodes along the costal, mediastinal and diaphragmatic pleura and the term juxtapleural was introduced to include these
- The Puzzle of the Perifissural Nodule | Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging
For example, at CT a perifissural nodule is often defined as being 5–15 mm or less from a pleural surface, which is somewhat different than the 15-mm delimitation described at pathology
- What is the diagnostic and treatment approach for perifissural nodules?
Perifissural nodules (PFNs) can be safely managed conservatively without follow-up imaging when they demonstrate typical morphological features, as they represent intrapulmonary lymph nodes with virtually no risk of malignancy
- The Puzzle of the Perifissural Nodule - PMC
From a practical point of view, depending on image quality and nodule size, it can be difficult to distinguish round nodules from other nodule shapes that are more reliably associated with a perifissural nodule
- Perifissural pulmonary nodules in oncology patients Always benign? - JCIMCR
Pulmonary nodules are a frequent finding on chest CT Many are Perifissural Pulmonary Nodules (PFN), which are shown to be benign on follow-up in lung cancer screening and routine care subjects and represent intrapulmonary lymph nodes
- Lung Nodule Size Chart: What the Size of Nodules Indicates
Lung nodules are small growths in your lungs, less than 30 millimeters in diameter Many nodules aren’t cancerous, but the risk becomes higher with increased size This video explains what
- What are perifissural nodules and their significance in medical imaging . . .
Perifissural nodules (PFNs) are a specific type of lung nodule frequently encountered in chest computed tomography (CT) scans Here’s a breakdown of their chara
- When to Worry about Lung Nodules? - Radiology In Plain English
Finding a lung nodule on a radiology report can be unsettling These small spots, often found during routine chest X-rays or CT scans, raise concerns about lung cancer and other serious conditions However, most lung nodules are harmless Understanding when to follow or work these up is key
