The predominant enhanced patterns, anatomical distribution, and calcification features of mediastinal lymph nodes were different between tuberculosis and silicosis. These radiographic features might help differentiate tuberculosis from silicosis, which provides imaging information for the differential diagnosis of the two diseases in a clinical setting.
