Primary malignant nodule. Variation in size with pulmonary venous pressure

Department of Diagnostic Radiology, St. George's Hospital, London, S.W.1

This excerpt was created in the absence of an abstract.

A squamous-cell carcinoma presenting as a solitary pulmonary nodule in a patient with congestive cardiac failure is described. Significant changes in size of the nodule were observed to correlate well with clinical and radiological evidence of changes in pulmonary venous pressure. It is suggested that the relationship is causal, with fluid accumulating in or around the nodule when the venous pressure rises and subsequently dispersing when the pressure falls.
