Anyone ever had nodes show up on lungs?

had a CT In Dec that said

~ There is no pulmonary embolism.

Patchy air space opacities with associated peribronchial thickening and bronchiectasis are seen in the lingula, posterior left upper lobe and anterior basilar segment of the right lower lobe.

There are borderline enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes, as well as enlarged. hilar lymph nodes bilaterally. Soft tissue density in the anterior mediastinum likely represents residual thymus.

There is no pleural or pericardial effusion. The osseous structures are normal.

IMPRESSION: 1. No pulmonary embolism. 2. Bronchiectasis with patchy air space opacities in the lingula, posterior left upper lobe and anterior basal segment of the right lower lobe. The areas of bronchiectasis are likely post- infectious in origin and/or related to chronic aspiration. 3. There is a borderline enlarged mediastinal and enlarged hilar lymph nodes that may be inflammatory and related to the same process.


I had another CT in Jan that said

~ There are no pulmonary arterial filling defects to suggest pulmonary embolic disease. There are numerous borderline enlarged mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes as before. Additionally, there are scattered areas of bronchiectasis throughout both lungs which is also unchanged when compared to December 8, 2006. There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. The bony thorax is unremarkable.

IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence of pulmonary embolic disease. 2. Scattered areas of bronchiectasis are unchanged when compared to December 8, 2006.

In June I had an xray that said possible nodes or nodules in left lung. The past 2 weeks my upper left side where these would be if they are there has benn hurting me, so much tonight that I took 400mg ibuprohen and it hasnt done anything. Has anyone had these? What are they? I have no idea I just hurt. My cf doc is supposed to call be back tomm after looking at the june xray.

Thank you so much for your help,

I also had a CT scan about 6 months ago. They told me I had 3 pulmonary nodules and gave the different sizes. I called and asked the radiologist what they were and if I should be concerned by them. I don't remember all the details, but she did say they are quite common and generally occur with infection. She said to monitor them to make sure they don't get larger, but sometimes they will disappear. I too suffer from extreme chest pain at times, I have no idea what causes it. I find it usually goes away after 24 hrs at the longest. I know we have to watch out for a pneumothorax, but I monitor my O2 sats during the pain and as long as they stay above 90% I don't worry. I would be interested to hear what others have experienced with these things or any info you could share. Thanks for your time.
