- Title:
- Miliary Tuberculosis (TB), Adult Male, CXR PA
- Description:
- 1. Miliary pattern of lung disease with innumerable discrete opacities usually the size of a millet seed (1-3 mm) more or less evenly distributed throughout both lungs. This finding is highly suggestive of disseminated M. tuberculosis, but may also be seen with fungal, viral, parasitic, bacterial, neoplastic, and inflammatory lung diseases as well.
2. Tracheostomy tube suggests this is a very sick patient.
3. Indistinct opacities that distort the mediastinal contour suggest mediastinal lymph node enlargement. Note the mediastinal borders on the comparison view.
4. Indistinct heart border demonstrating silhouette sign. Note distinct borders on comparison view.
