  2. Granuloma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granuloma

    "Pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma" is a lesion characterized by keloid-like fibrosis in the lung and is not granulomatous. Similarly, radiologists often use the term granuloma when they see a calcified nodule on X-ray or CT scan of the chest. They make this assumption since granulomas usually contain calcium, although the cells that form a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICD-10

    ICD-10 is the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), a medical classification list by the World Health Organization (WHO). It contains codes for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or diseases. [1]

    Lung EG is even less common. Its prevalence has not been published, however, lung EG was already diagnosed in approximately 5% of all lung biotic samples. Such condition may be asymptomatic, but also a non-productive cough, dyspnea, chest pain, fatigue, and spontaneous pneumothorax can occur. [1] Higher risk of lung EG is being associated with ...

  5. Granulomatous–lymphocytic interstitial lung disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granulomatous–lymphocytic...

    Granulomatous–lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (GLILD) is a lung complication of common variable immunodeficiency disorders (CVID). It is seen in approximately 15% of patients with CVID. [ 1 ] It has been defined histologically as the presence of (non-caseating) granuloma and lymphoproliferation in the lung. [ 1 ]

  6. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granulomatosis_with...

    These granulomas are the main reason for the name granulomatosis with polyangiitis, although it is not an essential feature. Nevertheless, necrotizing granulomas are a hallmark of this disease. However, many biopsies can be nonspecific and 50% provide too little information for the diagnosis of GPA. [12]

  7. Lung nodule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_nodule

    One or more lung nodules can be an incidental finding found in up to 0.2% of chest X-rays [3] and around 1% of CT scans. [ 4 ] The nodule most commonly represents a benign tumor such as a granuloma or hamartoma , but in around 20% of cases it represents a malignant cancer , [ 4 ] especially in older adults and smokers .

  8. Ground-glass opacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-glass_opacity

    Ground-glass opacity (GGO) is a finding seen on chest x-ray (radiograph) or computed tomography (CT) imaging of the lungs. It is typically defined as an area of hazy opacification (x-ray) or increased attenuation (CT) due to air displacement by fluid, airway collapse, fibrosis , or a neoplastic process . [ 1 ]

  9. Pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma - Wikipedia

    These are solitary lesions lying within the lung varying in size between 10 and 80 millimeters in diameter. [citation needed] There are four elements in this tumour: solid, papillary, sclerotic and hemangiomatous. These are present in variable proportions depending on the lesion. Calcification occurs in 40%.
