Bubble Lucencies (Pseudocavitation)
“Nodules containing round or oval foci of air attenuation are highly suspicious for malignancy, particularly lung adenocarcinoma ( Fig. 4.9 ). These bubble lucencies (synonym: pseudocavitations) are rarely identified in benign lesions. Correlation with pathologic findings has shown that the lucencies usually represent patent airways, often ectatic, or foci of emphysema surrounded by carcinoma.”
