Those who care for patients with pulmonary, critical care or sleep disorders rely heavily on chest radiology and pathology to determine diagnoses. The Southwest Journal of Pulmonary, Critical Care & Sleep publishes case-based articles with characteristic chest imaging and related pathology. The editor of this section will oversee and coordinate the publication of a core of the most important chest imaging topics. In doing so, they encourage the submission of unsolicited manuscripts. It cannot be overemphasized that both radiologic and pathologic images must be of excellent quality. As a rule, 600 DPI is sufficient for radiographic and pathologic images. Taking pictures of plain chest radiographs and CT scans with a digital camera is strongly discouraged. The figures should be cited in the text and numbered consecutively. The stain used for pathology specimens and magnification should be mentioned in the figure legend.

June 2012 Imaging Case of the Month

DateFriday, June 29, 2012 at 1:21PM

Michael B. Gotway, MD

Associate Editor, Imaging

Clinical History: A 46 -year-old man presents to the emergency room with hemoptysis. Frontal and lateral chest radiography (Figures 1A and B) was performed.

Figure 1. Frontal and lateral chest radiography shows a lobulated, circumscribed lesion within the left hilum. The right hilum appears normal, no lung consolidation is present, and no pleural abnormalities are seen. There is no evidence of mediastinal lymph node enlargement. There is relative lucency involving the left lung, particularly the left upper lobe, compared with the right side.

Which of the differential diagnostic considerations listed below is the least likely consideration for the appearance of the lesion on the chest radiograph?

  1. Bronchogenic carcinoma
  2. Adenoid cystic carcinoma
  3. Carcinoid tumor
  4. Sarcoidosis
  5. Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis

May 2012 Imaging Case of the Month

DateTuesday, May 8, 2012 at 7:00AM

Michael B. Gotway, MD

Associate Editor, Imaging

Clinical History: A 71-year-old man with a 20-pack-year history of smoking presented with complaints of cough. A chest radiograph (Figure 1) was performed.

Figure 1: Frontal and lateral chest radiography shows a medially located mass projected over the thoracic aorta on the frontal projection (A), residing posteriorly over the thoracic spine on the lateral projection (B). The lesion does not show visible calcification, and is non-specific in appearance.

Which of the differential diagnostic considerations listed below is the least likely consideration for the appearance of the lesion on the chest radiograph?

  1. Primary pulmonary malignancy
  2. A mass arising from the pleura
  3. Pulmonary lymphoma
  4. Arteriovenous malformation
  5. Hamartoma
