Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is an uncommon infiltrative pulmonary disease characterized by deposition of microliths in the alveoli. We present the case of a young adult with complaints of shortness of breath on exertion. Chest radiograph showed innumerable small, dense nodules, diffusely involving both the lungs - predominantly in the lower zones. High-resolution CT scan illustrated wides...

Agenesis of the right upper lobe of the lung is a very uncommon congenital anomaly and may be referred to chest clinics in adulthood for an incidental finding of abnormal chest radiograph. The presentations of chest radiograph may imitate many common situations such as right upper lobe collapse presenting as an ipsilateral shifting of the mediastinum or elevation of the right hemidiaphragm due ...

A 28-year-old man presented with a chest radiograph strongly suggestive for cardiomegaly. Although he did not consent any hemodynamic studies, cardiomegaly was ruled out on the basis of the clinical course. Computed tomography showed the existence of a large mass in both sides of the heart and in both lower hemithoraces. The tumor was resected by anterior mediastinotomy; it was weighted 2100 g ...

Computed tomography (CT; both conventional (CCT) and high resolution (HRCT)) scans of the thorax were evaluated to detect early asbestosis in 61 subjects exposed to asbestos dust in Québec for an average of 22(3) years and in five controls. The study was limited to consecutive cases with chest radiographs of the International Labour Organisation categories 0 or 1 determined independently. All s...

Chest radiograph (postero-anterior view) showing superimposed mass like lesions in the left upper and mid zones (black arrows) and smaller mass lesion in the right hilar area (white arrow). Fig. 2. High resolution cuts at contrast enhanced chest tomography showing saccular (white arrows) to varicose (black arrows) central bronchiectasis, with the surrounding lung showing air spaces ...
