“…En la evaluación de las embolias sépticas es importante mencionar que los hallazgos radiológicos, particularmente en la tomografía computada (TC) de tórax, pueden estar presentes incluso antes que los hemocultivos estén positivos (7) . Aunque la Rx tórax no tiene igual sensibilidad que la TC, también puede mostrar hallazgos que permitan sospechar una embolia séptica.…”

“…Entre los ellos se describen: pequeñas opacidades parenquimatosas generalmente bilaterales de distribución periférica y hacia las bases, de bordes mal definidos y variables en cuanto a su tamaño, luciendo como una neumopatía aguda habitual (área de condensación previa a la cavitación). Cuando estas lesiones se cavitan, tienden a observarse como lesiones cistoideas de pared fina (7)(8)(9) (Figura 4). …”

“…La identificación de imágenes intraluminales en la arteria pulmonar no es un hallazgo esperable, ya que los infartos sépticos son casi invariablemente consecuencia de pequeños émbolos que se alojan en la vasculatura pulmonar distal (7,8) . En cuanto a la evaluación de tromboflebitis de la VYI, tanto la TCMC con contraste como la US Doppler son muy sensibles en la detección de trombosis.…”

“…Some patients have single or multiple cavitary lesions that may, giving a thick wall abscess, be crucial to differentiate from cancer 13,17 . A retrospective study carried out in China revealed that pulmonary disease was the most common presentation of nocardiosis (85.0%) and that the most frequent chest CT results were airspace opacities, multifocal nodules or masses 18 .…”

“…Thoracic involvement can be seen as a bronchopulmonary disease that produces chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and cavitation resulting in invasion and destruction of the surrounding structures [10][11][12] . Imaging tests usually reveal an area of persistent subsegmental consolidation or a mass that can cavitate 13 . It may invade the interlobar fissures, pleura, chest wall, soft tissue, and even bone and mediastinum 14 .…”

Background: In the present world, the most common cause of cancer associated death is lung cancer, among both males and females. 1 Computed tomography gives a sharper anatomic and morphologic description of the lung lesion as opposed to plain radiography. Features of benign and malignant lesions are said to be better differentiated using computed tomography. 2 Considering the absence of standardized guidelines for reporting lung lesions, a study to find the validity of computed tomography in differentiating the malignant and benign nature of a pulmonary lesion would be appropriate in this setting. Aim: To find the sensitivity and specificity of Computed Tomography in differentiating malignant and benign lung lesions as opposed to its histopathological diagnosis. Materials and Methods: Patients sent to the Department of Radiodiagnosis, for imaging and CT guided lung biopsy are chosen for the study. The CECT images of the patient are studied and a radiological diagnosis is made based on the findings. The histopathological report will be correlated with the radiological diagnosis on terms of benign and malignant nature of the lesion. The duration of study is 18 months from January 2018 onwards and the CT equipment used for the study is GE Healthcare Optima CT660 128 slice. Result: In this study we have evaluated the sensitivity (83.3%) and specificity (50%) of Computed tomography in differentiating benign and malignant lesions. Overall diagnostic accuracy was determined to be 75%. Conclusion:In conclusion computed tomography is useful in differentiation of benign and malignant lung lesions.The differentiation of benign from malignant lung lesions is of great value because the therapeutic approach is different for both entities.
