What Does This Chest X-ray Report Indicate?
I had a lobectomy in March 2017 whereby the surgeon removed the lower chamber of of my lung to remove a 4.1 mass anaylsis as early stage adenocarcinoma. Just peeked inside w/chest xray. Radiologist states; FINDINGS: HEART:Heart size is normal. The mediastinal contours are unremarkable. LUNGS:Previously seen left lower lobe cavitary lesion is not seen on today s exam. There is obliteration of the left CP angle seen representing pleural thickening. Lungs are hyperexpanded. There is decreased left lung volume seen. IMPRESSION: No acute cardiopulmonary process. COPD changes. The above report may contain errors in syntax, word selection, grammar and/or spelling related to the use of voice recognition software. Is this all good news or what?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Except for the pleural thickening part, others are ok. Pleural thickening can be due to the adenocarcinoma or due to surgery itself.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
