Causes of Cavitary Lung Lesions | Mnemonic "CAVITARY" for all causes of lung cavities | MedSurvival

Cavitary lung lesions are relatively common findings on chest imaging and often pose a diagnostic challenge to the hospitalist. Having a standard approach to the evaluation of a cavitary lung lesion can facilitate an expedited workup. A lung cavity is defined radiographically as a lucent area contained within a consolidation, mass, or nodule.1 Cavities usually are accompanied by thick walls, greater than 4 mm. These should be differentiated from cysts, which are not surrounded by consolidation, mass, or nodule, and are accompanied by a thinner wall. ______________________________________ #lungcavity #lungproblems #pulmonaryembolism #lungcancer #MedSurvival #USMLE #medicalmnemonics #medicalstudent #medicalmnemonics # 💡 Stay ahead with medical mnemonics and study tips: • WhatsApp: bit.ly/MedSurvivalRaza • X (Twitter): bit.ly/MedSurvival • Facebook: bit.ly/Medsurvival
