Neurogenic pulmonary edema, although not frequently seen, is extremely important in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary edema. Often the diagnosis is suggested by roentgenogram and clinical history and effective therapy can therefore be instituted.
The case of a patient with a lung mass that disappeared after therapy with furosemide and digoxin is presented.
Tracheoesophageal fistulas should be suspected in patients with recurring chronic aspiration pneumonitis. They are most often secondary to intrathoracic malignancies. A case report of a patient with this disorder is presented, along with a review of pertinent literature.
The case of a patient with benign pulmonary hamartoma is presented. Examination of the lung by roentgenographic rays demonstrated the classical "popcorn calcification" in the lesion.
The authors report a case of primary chemodectoma with metastasis to the lungs. To date only 11 such cases have been reported in the literature.
A description of a patient with a germ cell tumor of the anterior mediastinum is presented along with a review of the pertinent medical literature.
Hurler's syndrome is usually diagnosed by chemical means; however, characteristic roentgenographic findings of "hook-shaped" vertebral bodies or "oar-shaped" ribs may be helpful in diagnosing the disorder.
Pulmonary sequestration is a disturbance in embryonic development that results in a cystic mass of nonfunctioning lung tissue. The authors present a case of this disorder and review the pertinent literature.
In this presentation of the case of a patient with primary carcinoma of the urethra, roentgenographic changes are highlighted.
Pulmonary contusions following blunt trauma often are visible roentgenographically immediately after injury. The case presented illustrates the need for prompt x-ray studies of the chest following blunt injury.
A case of intrathoracic or substernal thyroid is presented. The anatomical and radiological features and differential diagnoses are discussed.
Spontaneous pneumothorax secondary to bronchogenic carcinoma is an unusual occurrence. Reported here is a patient with adenocarcinoma of the lung whose presenting symptom was spontaneous pneumothorax. A brief review of the literature is presented.
