Cavitation Within Bland Pulmonary Infarcts

PHILIP H. SOUCHERAY M.D.1 and BERNARD J. O'LOUGHLIN M.D.2

1 The Tuberculosis Service and Radiology Service, Veterans Administration Hospital, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
2 The Department of Internal Medicine and Radiology, University of Minnesota.

1) One hundred cases of pulmonary infarction were reviewed and it was found that five had been diagnosed by the roentgenologist as showing evidence of pulmonary cavitation.

2) It was established that cavitation within a pulmonary infarct might occur in the absence of pyogenic abscess formation.

3) Mere presence of pulmonary cavitation did not seem to be a grave prognostic sign.

4) The diagnosis of pulmonary infarction could be made much more frequently by relying on the recognized clinical and roentgenological signs of the condition.
