There's also a smoothly demarcated border extending inferiorly- if that were lobar collapse then the shift should be toward the left. <BR/><BR/>So, my bet is on a pleural process with a mass-effect shifting the mediastinum to the contralateral side.Jeff Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01209432708535732499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12660458.post-1141910943175682662006-03-09T08:29:00.000-05:002006-03-09T08:29:00.000-05:00I *think* the mass is mediastinal. I am not sure ...I *think* the mass is mediastinal. I am not sure if this is superior or anterior division. If superior, lymphoma, thyroid cancer, goiter. If anterior, thymoma. The margins are well-demarcated. This suggests a benign process I would get a CT to sort that out. <BR/>I suppose it could also be pleural based; there seems to be some tracheal deviation to the left.Jenningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930453447603683057noreply@blogger.com
