The hilum overlay sign is a radiological sign observed on chest X-rays or CT scans, indicating that a lung mass is located in the hilum or is adjacent to it. This sign is characterized by the visibility of the vascular structures at the hilum, which helps differentiate between a true hilar mass and an adjacent lesion. When the hilum structures remain visible, it suggests that the mass is likely separate from the hilum itself, aiding in the diagnosis of lung pathology.
An overlay sign is a type of road sign that provides additional information or context to a primary sign. It is typically placed above or alongside the main sign to clarify or emphasize a specific message, such as speed limits, directions, or warnings. Overlay signs help enhance driver understanding and safety by offering supplementary guidance in a clear and concise manner.

Hm. There is no such thing as the "hilum of the upper lung". The hilum (also called the hilus) is the part of the lung where the bronchi, pulmonary veins, and pulmonary arteries enter the lung. Each lung has its own hilum. Surrounding the hilum are lymph nodes that help drain fluid that has entered the lung. Since the hilum consists of so many different structures with distinct purposes, there's no easy way to discuss how the hilum "works". It's more of an anatomical entity rather than a functional one. Do you have a specific question about the function of one of the structures in the hilum?
