Large Thoracic Lymphadenopathy and Pulmonary Nodules in Young Man

Chest. 2022 Mar;161(3):e169-e173. doi: 10.1016/j.chest.2021.10.008.

Abstract

A 33-year-old man with obesity, systemic arterial hypertension, and psoriasis who had been treated previously with little success by a pulmonologist for chronic unproductive irritant cough came to the outpatient pulmonary department because of profuse cough and short syncope (probably cough-induced). Chest radiography revealed widened mediastinum with lobular, polycyclic contours that was suspected to be a large mediastinal lymphadenopathy or mediastinal mass.
