1. Chest CT shows a poorly defined, non-calcified, right lung nodule
The unenhanced chest CT shows a poorly defined, non-calcified nodule in the right middle lobe (arrows and arrowheads on Figure 3). No lymphadenopathy or pleural disease is present. There is no areas of ground-glass opacity to suggest alveolitis nor is there bronchiectasis or features of fibrotic lung disease. An incidentally noted cystic lesion is seen in the extreme medial right lung base, containing a small gas-fluid level. Testing for Mycobacterium tuberculosis was negative.
