Children normally have increased lung markings in the perihilar area. Usually, this is due to blood vessels in the lungs. Markings showing enlarged hilar glands are found in tuberculosis of the lungs.These are associated with other findings such as opacities in the lobes of the lungs. Hila of the lungs are the parts on the inner side where bronchi and blood vessels enter the lungs.
