A chest CT scan has revealed multiple pulmonary nodules, upto 2 cm
size.  There is no calcification.  There is enhancement of the
mediastinal vessels.  No evidence of mediastinal lymphadenopathy. 
Adrenal glands appear normal.

What are the possible medical diagnoses, apart from neoplasia? 
Sarcoidosis?  Fungus?  Other?  There is no biopsy yet.  TB is ruled
out.

Clarification of Question by album501-ga on 24 Jun 2002 14:43 PDT

see comment #3 below

Im'm sorry, album501-ga, but this really needs to be discussed with
your doctor.  You have no means of knowing the background of the
researchers on this forum.  If they are not practitioners, they should
not answer this question.

I strongly agree with Tehuti on this. You're talking about a very
specific medical problem which requires a doctor's assessment. If you
don't feel that you've received enough information from your doctor,
ask again! (You ARE the customer!) If you still don't get a suitable
answer, find another doctor. Second opinions are never a bad idea
anyway.

Self-diagnosis, even tentatively, is too dangerous to leave to
internet sources.

Thanks for the reminder.  I am talking with the doctor and soon a
specialist.
I am not looking for a medical opinion as much as possibilities that
are out there
in the open literature - research that I could myself do on the Web
but find I dont have
enough time for.  If researchers are not comfortable with this and
dont respond,
thats ok.

I completely agree with tehuti on this. A CT scan just like any other
radiological image is tough to interprete, sometimes even for
experienced radiologists. Even a doctor would probably not want to
give you advice based on so little information, just because you
wouldn't benefit of it at all. A list of differential diagnoses is
nothing more than a very inaccurate approximation to your problem.
