Hello everybody.
I am back after a long and profitable vacation, hiking in the Spanish mountains and swimming in the nearby sea. Wonderful.
I hope that all of you are well and in better conditions than last year. COVID 19 is still around and we have to stay alert.
To warm up, I will just show you a very brief case that was sent to me by Dr Ana Villanueva ( see case 49).
This is a newborn with vomiting.
Look carefully. What is the diagnosis?

Dear friends,
sorry about the wait, but I do hope you enjoy it!
This case was shown to me by Dr Santiago Isarría from Hospital Universitario Dr. Peset. Valencia. Spain. The case was a bit shocking to me, and I asked Dr Isarría if he could let me show it in the blog because it contains several interesting features. Dr Silvia Medrano, a smart radiology resident, provided me with the images and the pertinent information.
The patient is a 72-year-old lady with a history of multiple myeloma being followed. Now she complains of right dorsal chest pain.
