Hello and hope you are doing well.

Was it a loculated pleural effusion? What did the fluid analysis report say? Considering that your symptoms have been present for three months. It could be due to tuberculosis. Please follow up with your doctor.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Understand your predicament. X rays are images and can show radiolucent or opaque shadows. And only a differential diagnosis can be obtained from this. Lung nodules can occur due to local causes like recurrent lung infections and sometimes due to cancer of the lungs. They can also be seen in systemic diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, sarcoidosis and scleroderma. Further evaluation will be based on whether the nodule is changing in size and systemic symptoms. A PET scan and biopsy may help in evaluation. A biopsy facilitates a histologic study of cells, which gives you a definite diagnosis. Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
