Abstract

Introduction: The solitary pulmonary nodule is the first radiographic finding in 20-30% of lung cancers. Therefore, it is important to distinguish malignant from benign cases. Many studies reported initially radiological evaluation; especially HRCT is the most helpful method to show the margin, size, and internal characteristics of PULMONARY MASSes. The aim of this study was to evaluate HRCT findings and biopsy results and find the correlation between them.Method: 196 patients who underwent transthorasic or transbronchial biopsies in Mostafa Khomeini hospital were evaluated for 2 years. The factors noted in HRCT included: size, location, margin and internal characteristics of PULMONARY MASS. After collecting the data, 59 patients were excluded because there were no enough documents for them. Finally, data were entered into computer and analyzed by SPSS soft ware. Results: 54% of patients were male and 46% were female. Biopsy results were malignant in 43.8% cases but 56.2% were benign or nonspecific. The Malignant group included: SCC, NSCC, and metastases. However, TB, sarcoidosis, antracosis, Boop, Bronchestasia and other diseases were included in benign group. 42.3% of benign nodules well-defined, on the other hand, 2.2% had irregular margins. The most homogeneous view belonged to benign groups. Airbronchogram was seen in 28.5% of malignant group. While calcification was common in benign group, in malignant group, the most nodules were in upper lobes of lung. There were significant difference between malignant and benign groups, in case of age, the location, size, margin, cavitations and airbronchoram view.Conclusion: Specific morphologic features such as size, margin and internal characteristics (especially Heterogeneity) are helpful to distinguish benign from malignant masses if the patient's history and major factors that increase the risk of malignancy are taken into considerations.
