normal lateral chest x ray

Non–small cell lung cancer. Bronchoscopy. A large central lesion was diagnosed as non–small cell carcinoma.

Non–small cell lung cancer. Left pleural effusion and volume loss secondary to non–small cell carcinoma of the left lower lobe. The pleural effusion was sampled and found to be malignant; therefore, the lesion is inoperable.

Non–small cell lung cancer. A cavitating right lower lobe squamous cell carcinoma.

Non–small cell lung cancer. Patient has right lower lobe opacity. This is not well circumscribed and was found to be a squamous cell carcinoma.

Non–small cell lung cancer. Right upper lobe lesion diagnosed as adenocarcinoma on percutaneous biopsy.

This frontal chest radiograph shows extensive disease in a patient with small cell lung cancer. A large mass is noted in the left mid lung, with an opacity extending to the upper lung. Also present is a right lower lung nodule that suggests a metastatic deposit. The increased right paratracheal opacity indicates lymphadenopathy. A small left pleural effusion is present, with blunting of the costophrenic recess.

PA and latero-lateral chest X-ray examination: A large homogenous soft tissue shadow with lobulated contour can be seen in the anterior mediastinum on the left (arrow). The mass is within the dotted area in the lateral view.

The chest film shows the typical features of Hodgkin lymphoma, e.g., an anterior mediastinal mass.
