feeding vessel sign
Feeding vessel sign consists of a distinct vessel leading directly to a nodule or a mass. This sign indicates either that the lesion has a haematogenous origin or that the disease process occurs near small pulmonary vessels.
A number of vessel-related non-neoplastic disorders of the lung produce focal disease, including :
- pulmonary infarction
- angioinvasive pulmonary aspergillosis
- pulmonary vasculitis
- pulmonary embolism
- pulmonary arteriovenous malformation
- pulmonary metastases
- arteriovenous malformations
- septic pulmonary emboli
