Conclusion
1 topic,
0:01
So that that does it.
0:02
So that is our whirlwind tour
0:04
of diffuse nodule lung disease.
0:05
So random perilymphatic and central lolar.
0:08
Again, just to recap, random
0:10
hematogenous nodules got there through the blood.
0:14
They are entropic.
0:15
They do not care about the
0:16
underlying sector of pulmonary lole.
0:18
You are going to get subpleural
0:20
nodules in this disease setting.
0:21
Para lymphatic nodules. These nodules love the lymphatics.
0:24
And so remember there are lymphatics
0:26
in the subpleural lung as well.
0:27
So you're gonna see subpleural nodularity as well.
0:30
They can cluster, think about sarcoidosis one, two,
0:32
and three central lo nodules,
0:34
I think very characteristic imaging pattern.
0:36
They have an order to them, you know, think about
0:39
dots on a shirt or on a dress.
0:40
They're gonna spare the subpleural portion.
0:43
Lung, by definition, most of the diseases there got there
0:46
through the airways, except when they didn't, right?
0:48
Because again, what travels with the small airways,
0:50
small vessels of the pulmonary arteries.
0:52
So thank you very much.
