Dear Friends,
I hope you remember the three questions to ask when facing a chest radiograph:
a) Is there any visible abnormality? (Chapter 1)
b) Is it intra or extrapulmonary? (Chapter 2)
c) What does it look like?
To discuss the third question, I’m showing chest radiographs of a 36-year-old woman with chest pain.
What does the lesion look like?
1. Pericardial fat pad
2. Thymic tumour
3. Pericardial cyst
4. Any of the above
