Description

A patient is described who presented with a vividly enhancing solitary pulmonary nodule during dynamic CT scanning. This mass proved to represent a granuloma due to coccidioidomycosis. The presumptive mechanism of enhancement as well as the differential diagnosis are discussed. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Es wird ueber einen Patienten berichtet, bei dem die dynamische CT-Untersuchung einen stark anreichernden solitaeren Lungenrundherd zeigte. Bei der histologischen Untersuchung des operativ entfernten Rundherdes wurde die Diagnose einer Coccidioido-Mykose gestellt. Der mutmassliche Mechanismus der Kontrastmittelanreicherung und die Differentialdiagnose vermehrt vaskularisierter Lungenrundherde werden diskutiert. (orig.)
