We are having a December sale (everything must go!) and during this month Muppet will show only cases with air-fluid level. We start with a vintage case (2002) of a 76-year-old male with left lower lobe pneumonia.
Diagnosis:
1. Infected bulla
2. Congenital cyst
3. Pneumatocele
4. None of the above
Dear Friends,
I would like to begin a new subspecialty with the case of a 58-year-old male with a palpable nodule in the left breast.
Dear friends,
Muppet is in Chicago at the RSNA meeting. While looking for Miss Piggy, he found time to discover the following case: 65-year-old female asymptomatic.
Do you think the chest is normal? If not, then where is the abnormality?
Dear friends,
This week’s case is a sixty-year-old male with progressive exertional dyspnea.
Dear Friends,

Dear Friends,
Muppet is seriously considering retirement, seeing your level of expertise! You have nailed the previous two cases. We hope you diagnose the following one just as well: 45-year-old man with vague chest pains.
Diagnosis:
1. Aortic aneurysm
2. Intrathoracic goiter
3. Thymoma
4. None of the above
Dear Friends,
Since some of you misdiagnosed the right aortic arch in case 9, I will give you another chance with another mediastinal case in a 45-year-old man, who is asymptomatic.
Dear Friends,
Since 100% of you gave correct answers in the previous case, Muppet believes you know it all and is considering retiring to a nunnery. Before he makes his final vows, he wants to show the case of a 35-year-old woman with a solitary calcified lung nodule, discovered in pre-op CT for a gastric tumour.
Diagnosis:
1. Granuloma
2. Chondroma
3. Hamartoma
4. None of the above
