DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTICS OF CAVITIES IN THE LUNGS IN PULMONARY EMBOLISM USING CLINICAL CASES AS AN EXAMPLE
Abstract
Determining the cause of a cavity in the lung when interpreting a CT scan is a difficult task, since it requires excluding a large number of pathologies from the differential diagnostic series. The formation of a cavity of disintegration in a pulmonary infarction is a rare complication of pulmonary embolism (PE), but the simultaneous presence of a cavity in the lung and PE in a patient are not always links in the same chain of pathological process. The article provides anamnesis, clinical and radiographic data that are important for the differential diagnosis of cavity formations in the presence of pulmonary embolism in a patient.
