3.   CT shows non-specific left upper lobe non-calcified nodules

The unenhanced thoracic CT shows non-specific non-calcified left lung nodules correlating with the chest radiographic findings; the nodules are not cavitary. A trace amount of left pleural liquid may be present, but no lobulated pleural thickening and masses are seen. There is no peribronchial lymph node enlargement. Finally, the nodules appear spatially separated from the left-sided pulmonary arteries and therefore are unlikely to represent pulmonary artery aneurysms.
