Case 1

• A 29-year-old man• Acute myeloid leukemia after bone marrow

transplantation• The patient had a history of fever and cough

HRCT in RLL

31

Case 1

• Multiple, small, centrolobular nodules of soft-tissue attenuation connected to linear branching opacities (arrows)

• Tree-in-bud sign

32

Case 1At serologic examination, an infection with

A. Klebsiella pneumoniae

B. Mycoplasma pneumoniae

C. Streptococcus pneumoniae

Tree-in-bud sign associated with bronchiolar infection

• Transverse thin-section CT scan through right lower lobe in a patient with airways disease and bacterial infection related to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome)

35

Tree-in-bud sign associated with bronchiolar infection

• Multiple impacted centrilobular bronchioles result in tree-in-bud appearance (arrowheads).

• Bronchiectasis is also present

36

Lung slice from patient with bronchopneumonia

• Impacted mucus- and pus-filled bronchioles (arrows) are visible throughout the lung

Golden S sign

40

Concave

Convex

Golden S sign

Refers to a reverse S shaped shadow

Golden S sign

Caused by right upper lobe collapse

Golden S sign

The upper curve of the reverse S

(concave infero-laterally)

Golden S sign

A central mass causing the collapse forming the lower curve (convex infero-medially)

45

• When a lobe collapses around a large central mass, the peripheral lung collapses and the central portion of lung is prevented from collapsing by the presence of the mass.

46

• The relevant fissure is concave toward the lung peripherally but convex centrally, and the shape of the fissure resembles an S or a reverse S .

47

Conclusion

• Golden S sign - indicates lobar collapse with a central mass, suggesting an obstructing bronchogenic carcinoma in an adult
