Dear Friends,
In the best Christmas spirit, Muppet is presenting a nice case. These radiographs belong to an 86-year-old lady who came to the emergency room with chest pain. Pulmonary nodules were visible. What would be your diagnosis?
Dear Friends,
Continuing with the December sale, I am presenting the case of a 25-year-old epileptic male with three weeks of fever and one episode of haemoptysis.
Diagnosis:
1. Tuberculosis
2. Pulmonary abscess
3. Carcinoma of lung
4. None of the above
Dear Friends,
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,
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,
After the trepidation of case 42, Muppet hopes you get this case easily. Sixty-eight-year-old male with pain in the chest.
Diagnosis:
1. Tuberculosis
2. Bronchoalveolar carcinoma
3. Actinomycosis
4. None of the above
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
Dear Friends,
This week’s case is an 85-year-old man with weight loss. Would you call this study normal?
Dear Friends,
Muppet is so happy with your performance that he has chosen a challenging case. The following radiographs belong to a 52-year-old woman with two episodes of chest pain in six weeks. The initial radiograph is shown, as well as a radiograph taken during the second episode. At that time, a CT was done.
