How is leukoplakia on the lung to return a responsibility?

summary

Pulmonary shadow usually refers to the high-density area in the lung parenchyma found in fluoroscopy. It is a kind of disease that is difficult to cure. On chest X-ray or CT, it is often manifested as mass or nodule. Generally, the standard of mass is more than 4cm in diameter, while nodule usually refers to less than 3cm in diameter. Whether it is a pulmonary mass or a nodule, the most common are tuberculosis, infection and tumor. Many people can't cure for a long time, not because they can't cure, but because they don't understand it. Let's introduce how leukoplakia is on the lung?.

How is leukoplakia on the lung to return a responsibility?

First, once the patient finds the shadow of the lung, there is no need to be too nervous, but should actively seek a specialist (thoracic surgery, respiratory medicine) to make a definite diagnosis. The doctor will use other auxiliary examination methods according to the specific situation of the patient, such as chest CT, fiberoptic bronchoscopy, CT guided puncture, sputum cell examination, etc. to further make a definite diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is clear, the doctor will work out the correct treatment plan.

Second: lung shadow and lung cancer can not be equated, many diseases in the chest film may have such performance, the key is to distinguish clearly. Generally speaking, there are three types of diseases that cause "lung shadow".

Third: the second type of disease causing "lung shadow" is lung tumor. However, lung cancer does not mean lung cancer, let alone incurable disease. The fear of "lung shadow" mainly comes from lung cancer. This disease occurs in the middle-aged and elderly people. The shadow of the lung is mostly spherical. When carefully observed, the edge of the shadow is lobulated. Some patients have "burr" on the edge of the shadow, while some patients show patchy shadow similar to pneumonia. Generally speaking, patients will appear irritative cough, blood sputum, chest pain, emaciation, hoarseness, drinking water choking cough and other symptoms. The diagnosis can be confirmed by chest CT, sputum test, fiberoptic bronchoscopy or CT guided biopsy.

matters needing attention

If the pulmonary infection is not completely absorbed after treatment, it may form inflammatory pseudotumor. Most of the patients have a history of pneumonia in the past, and most of them have no symptoms when they find lung shadow. If it can be diagnosed as inflammatory pseudotumor, because it is not a real tumor, it can not be treated.
