Differential diagnosis of chest diseases Dr Ahmed Refaey , FRCR
Micronodular(miliary)disease • TB • Histoplasmosis • Chicken box • Sarcoidosis • LCH • Pneumoconiosis • Alveolar microlithiasis • Metastasis
Septal thickening • Beaded / nodular * lymphangiticcarcinomatosa * sarcoidosis * silicosis • Smooth * lymphangitisccarcinomatosis * pulmonary edema * alveolar proteinosis
Bilateral perihilar air-space disease • Pulmonary edema • Pulmonary hemorrhage • Alveolar proteinosis • PCP
Acute alveolar infiltrate • Pulmonary edema • Pneumonia • Pulmonary hemorrhage • Aspiration
Chronic alveolar disease • Alveolar cell carcinoma • Alveolar sarcoidosis • Lymphoma • Alveolar proteinosis
Unilateral hyperlucent lung • Obstructive emphysema • Mcleoid syndrome ( Swyer James syndrome) • Pneumothorax • Pulmonary embolism • Bullous disease • Air trapping e.g. FB , mass • Poland syndrome
Multiple lung nodules (macronodules) • Metastasis • Wegner’s granulomatosis • Rheumatoid n nodules • AVMs • Septic emboli
Small cavitating lung lesions • Septic emboli • Rheumatoid nodules • Wegner’s granulomatosis • Sq. or transitional cell ca metastasis
Upper lober disease( CASSET P ) • Cystic fibrosis • Ankylosingspondylitis • Sarcoidosis • Silicosis • Esinophilicgranuloma • PCP
Basilar interstitial lung disease ( BADASS ) • Bronchiectasis • Aspiration • Drugs / DIP-UIP • Asbestosis • Sickle cell disease • Scleroderma
Masses with air bronchogram • Lymphoma • Alveolar cell carcinoma • Pseudolymphoma ( maltoma )
Anterior mediastinal mass • Thymic tumors • Substernal Thyroid • LNs • Germ cell tumor
Middle mediastinal mass • LNs • Aneurysm • Esophageal duplication • Bronchogenic cyst
Posterior mediastinal mass • Neurogenic tumors • Paraspinal hematoma • Paraspinal abscess • Extraskeletalhematopoiesis • LNs enlargement • Lateral meningeocele
Opacifiedhemithorax • Atelectasis • Pneumonia • Pleural effusion • Post pneumonectomy
Pneumomediastinum • Ruptured esophagus • Ruptured trachea / bronchus • Iatrogenic • Broncheal asthma • pneumoperitoneum
Pleural calcification • Old TB empyema • Asbestos exposure • Hemithorax
Cardiopherenic angle mass • Pericardial cyst • Diaphragmatic hernia ( Morgagni ) • Lung sequestration • Pericardial fat bad
Unilateral pulmonary edema • Aspiration • Disease in other lung e.g. COPD • Postural • Rapid expansion pulmonary edema “ Look for ICT”
Long segment tracheal narrowing • Tracheopathiaosteoplastica • Tracheo-bronchealamyloidosis • Wegner’s granulomatosis • Intubation injury • Tracheobronchomalacia • Relapsing polychondritis • Papillomatosis ( extensive )
Peripheral distributed lung disease • Esinophilic pneumonia --- upper lobes • BOOP ----- lower lobes • Hypersensitivity pneumonitis • Multiple infarcts • DIP • Alveolar cell carcinoma
Bronchiectasis • CT criteria of bronchiectasis 1- lack of tapering of bronchi 2-internal diameter of bronchus larger than the adjacent artery 3- bronchi are visible within 1 cm of pleura 4- mucus-filled , dilated bronchi
Bronchiectasis • Chronic airway infection • Pulmonary fibrosis –traction bronchiectasis • ABPA ------- central bronchiectasis • Cystic fibrosis ------- apical bronchiectasis • Mounier-Kuhn syndrome – tracheobronchomegally • Kartagner syndrome --- situsinversus + sinusitis
Dilated esophagus • Scleroderma • Achalasia • Obstructing tumor • Drugs ( atropine) • Surgury ( gastric pull-up)
