Chest X-ray performed after administration of contrast for CT - hence the incidental IVP - not relevant. Note old healed left clavicle fracture. The lungs show diffuse thickening of the interstitium, peribronchial cuffing, with prominent Kerley A lines and Kerley B lines. No definitive mass is demonstrated but the hila are prominent suggesting possible lymphadenopathy.
