Large-airway tumors and tumorlike conditions are uncommon, but a systematic approach aids in narrowing the differential diagnosis. In this article, we describe an approach to dealing with large-airway lesions and discuss their imaging characteristics and clinical presentations.
We have found it useful to separate these entities into groups on the basis of the distribution pattern (focal vs diffuse) and location (trachea vs bronchi).
大气道肿瘤和瘤样病变并不常见,但系统的方法有助于缩小鉴别诊断的范围。本文描述了一种处理大气道病变的方法,并讨论了它们的影像学特征和临床表现。
我们发现,根据分布模式(局灶性与弥漫性)和位置(气管与支气管)将这些病变分为不同的组是有用的。
