Can I have ask an idea about the results of the CT scan of may daughter? please help me to understand this result.
IMPRESSION:
1. Large right pulmonary mass
2. Left suprahilar mass with mediastinal and pulmonary involvement, encasement of the left pulmonary artery and left mainstem bronchus, and surrounding subcentimeter satellite pulmonary nodules
3. Pleural-based nodules
4. Above finding may be taken apart or together be suggestive of a neoplastic process. Infectious/inflammatory etiology is less likely. Tissue correlation is suggested for further evaluation.
5. Mediastinal and supraclavicular lymphadenopathy, worrisome for metastasis if above is proven malignant.

Hi @epplansar , welcome to Mayo Connect. None of us here are medical professionals, but most of us in the lung cancer group have had many CT scans. You and your family are likely scared after reading the report. It tells us that there are areas of concern, and the only way to determine what is causing this is to do some additional investigation (the radiologist recommends 'tissue correlation'). If her doctor agrees, this will mean that she will have a biopsy.
When is her appointment with the doctor? They will be able to outline the next steps and better interpret the report.
Was your daughter experiencing any symptoms? Cough?
How is she handling the results of the report?
