Findings, case of 44 y/o man, followup incidental finding on chest film

Imaging Findings

On the anteroposterior radiograph, a relatively homogeneous, well-circumscribed mass is seen overlying the right heart border. Neither associated lymphadenopathy nor pleural effusions are evident. On the lateral radiograph, the mass is also visible. The mass appears to be in the right middle lobe or right hilar area.

On computed tomography (CT) images, the mass is seen to have heterogeneous attenuation. Calcification is also evident, along with low-density areas. No evidence of lymphadenopathy is visible on CT. There is a component of the mass that is within the bronchus.
