hilar fullness refers to a fullness in the shadow in the both sides
of the chest.
There
are a number of causes for this finding including but not limited
to congestive heart failure, sarcoidosis, pneumonia and lung cancer.
The most
like diagnosis is sarcoidosis.
Sarcoidosis
involves inflammation that produces tiny lumps of cells in various
organs in the body. The lumps are called granulomas because they look
like grains of sugar or sand.
They
are very small and can be seen only with a microscope. These tiny
granulomas can grow and clump together, making many large and small
groups of lumps.
If many
granulomas form in an organ, they can affect how the organ works.
This can cause symptoms of sarcoidosis.
Sarcoidosis
can occur in almost any part of the body, although it usually affects
some organs more than others. It usually starts in one of two places:
Lungs and Lymph nodes, especially the lymph nodes in the chest cavity.
