Imaging Results
Well defined lobulated pulmonary mass with irregular margin with eccentric calcifications at the superior basal segment of the left lower lobe <1cm pulmonary nodule at the posterior basal segment of the right lower lobe With either linear fibrosis or subsegmental atelectasis at the anterobasal segment of the left lower lobe Pleural thickening, left lung Thoracic spondylosis
SURGICAL PATHOLOGY Tissue Diagnosis
April 26, 2010 Metastatic poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma
AFB SPUTUM Culture

Diagnosis
Working Diagnosis Lung cancer, non-small cell (adenocarcinoma), stage 4, currently undergoing cobalt radiotherapy with possible malnutrition, kidney and liver damage. Rule out pulmonary TB.
The results of the biopsy confirm that indeed, the patient has a malignant tumor in the lung The enlarged supraclavicular lymph nodes indicate that the patient’s cancer is in stage 4
