Good evening,
I would like to ask my question again and request information. I have been experiencing a persistent cough for several months, which is why a CT scan of the thorax was performed. I would like assistance in deciphering the text or information on whether cancer can be ruled out.
Here is the report:
The soft tissues of the neck appear symmetrical and normal. There is no evidence of lymph node enlargement in the deep cervical, axillary, or mediastinal regions. Thymic hyperplasia.
The heart appears normal in size and shape, with the pulmonary arteries showing sufficient contrast up to the segmental branches and having a normal configuration. The pulmonary veins are normal. Systemic arteries are normal. The pericardial space is normal.
The tracheobronchial tree is normal. The lung parenchyma appears normal. The pleural spaces are clear. Upper abdominal structures are normal. Bone structure is normal.
Assessment:
Normal lung architecture, no evidence of interstitial or alveolar infiltrates. No evidence of bronchiectasis, normal tracheobronchial tree. Thymic hyperplasia. No evidence of lymphoma. The heart and major blood vessels are normal.
That is the report. What does this mean exactly? Should I be worried? What is thymic hyperplasia? Is it serious?
Best regards
