Today, a family member of a patient who lives in Tianjin contacted me and said that the patient was 56 years old and was hospitalized in a hospital in Tianjin at the beginning of February this year because of a heart disorder. He had a coronary CT scan and found that there was a problem with coronary artery , Planning to be hospitalized for stent surgery. Before the stent operation, I took a chest radiograph and found that the right hilum was enlarged, and then arranged a chest CT. The CT results suspected a hamartoma of the right upper lung. The cardiologist did not have to do stent , Said to understand the lung problem first. Later, I did a PET-CT in another hospital, and the result was also considered to be a benign tumor. Since benign tumors were considered, follow-up observation was chosen. The heart results were not made of stents, but balloon dilatation was made. After that, the chest CT was reviewed twice in June and September, and the occupancy on the lung has not changed much from before. Now some doctors think that this space is three centimeters away, and it is recommended to remove it in time.
Family members said that they have had seven or eight CTs in a row in the past few months. If you are hospitalized for surgery now, you have to do CT again. They are worried that the patient’s body will not be able to bear it because of so many CTs. NS? I saw the film sent to me by my family. This placeholder is indeed a benign tumor first, but for a tumor of this size, even if it is a benign tumor, I also recommend surgical removal. I have done a little more CT in the past few months, but I think it’s okay to use the existing information for surgery. There is no need to do CT again. My personal opinion is to cut off this placeholder.
