title: Computed tomographic high-attenuation mediastinal lymph nodes after aluminum exposition.
abstract: A case with increased computed tomographic densities of mediastinal lymph nodes with histologically proven aluminum storage is presented. We suggest consideration of aluminosis as differential diagnosis in patients with increased native CT densities beyond 50 HU.
