Wegener granülomatozis akciğer tutulumunda bilgisayarlı tomografi bulguları: Resimlerle bir konu

Wegener granülomatozis, akciğerde en iyi bilgisayarlı tomografide tanımlanan, değişik bulgularla ortaya çıkabilen nekrotizan granülomatöz bir vaskülittir. Görüntüleme bulguları kaviteleşebilen nodül veya kitleler; konsolidasyon ve buzlu cam yoğunluklarıdır. Wegener granülomatozis pnömoni, malignite ve infeksiyon dışı inflamatuvar hastalıkları taklit edebilir. Bu resimli derlemenin amacı Wegener granülomatozisin akciğer tutulumunda karakteristik bilgisayarlı tomografi bulgularını göstermektir.

Computed tomography findings in pulmonary involvement of wegener's granulomatosis: Pictorial review

Wegener's granulomatosis is a necrotising granulomatous vasculitis which has a variable manifestations in the chest that are best described on computed tomography. Imaging findings may include masses or nodules, which may cavitate; consolidations and ground-glass opacities. Wegener's granulomatosis can mimic pneumonia, malignancy, and noninfectious inflammatory diseases. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to demonstrate the characteristic computed tomography findings of pulmonary Wegener's granulomatosis.
