Dear Friends,
After spending a long weekend with Miss Piggy, Muppet is at peace with the world and has chosen an easy case: 41-year-old male with cough, mild fever and left chest pain.
Diagnosis:
1. Pneumonia
2. Infected bronchiectasis
3. Pulmonary infarction
4. None of the above
Dear Friends,
This case was sent by my good friend Alberto Villanueva. Muppet made the diagnosis right away (he is gifted!) and wants to share the images with you. They belong to a 17-year-old boy with moderate dyspnea.
Diagnosis:
1. Congenital absence of LLL
2. Chronic TB plural thickening
3. LLL collapse (foreign body?)
4. None of the above

Dear Friends,
Muppet is getting old and feeble and, after more than one year of showing cases, is exhausted. He has decided to stop searching for exclusive cases and has decided to show only cases seen within the last two weeks. Hopes they are still worth presenting and will earn your approval. The first case, seen on April 15, is the PA chest radiograph of a 57-year-old woman with previous breast cancer, removed. What do you think of the anterior right fifth rib?
Diagnosis:
1. Metastases
2. Fibrous dysplasia
3. Paget’s disease
4. None of the above
Dear Friends,

Dear Friends,
Today we’re presenting a routine chest control of a 53-year-old woman who had a lumpectomy for carcinoma of the breast three years ago. Radiographs were read as normal. Do you agree? Any ideas?
