Subject: s/l bilinear fibrosis?


EXAM:  No murmur or gallop noted.  CT scan of the chest done 03/17/2006 revealed a 2.5 cm soft tissue density left of the distal esophagus.  Also a retained catheter fragment in the left lower lobe and (s/l bilinear) fibrosis of the left lower lung.


 


ASSESSMENT



  1. Tobacco use.

  2. COPD.

  3. Abnormal CT chest.

Is bilinear correct?

Some type of liver fibrosis?
Subject: Some type of liver fibrosis?

Of course, the first dictator I get today has to be *thee* worst one in the clinic... at least with my experience. I'm training and I do not want to have another blank against me.

The patient has abnormal liver enzymes, hiatal hernia, mild reactive *something* with the GE junction with focal erosions, and mild antral gastritis with a few erosions and something else I couldn't hear.

WORD I NEED HELP WITH: Sounds like "dumb-it-fans dumb fibrosis." LOL Anyone have ANY idea what he is talking about? Thanks much!
