description |
Lung carcinoma typically presents with haemoptysis and
constitutional symptoms on a background history of
chronic cigarette smoking.
A chest X-ray can pick up these lesions in view of its
radio-opacity and nodular appearances that are
manifested in more than 90% of cases.1
However it can be mistakenly interpreted as normal if it is
obscured by heart shadow.
Nevertheless, loss of a specific contour can help
determine the presence position of a disease process.
This phenomenon is known as the silhouette sign |
