A

Adenocarcinoma

43
Q

How does RA present in the lungs?

A

Pleural thickening/effusions
UIP
Ground glass

Caplan syndrome (RA and Pneumoconiosis)

44
Q

How do you differentiate intra and extra lobar sequestration?

A

Intralobar - more common 75%, Pulmonary veinous drainage, does not have separate pleura, recurrent infections

Extralobar - Systemic veinous drainage, separate pleural cover

45
Q

A

Pulmonary opacification with a dependent density gradient
Widespread groundglass

46
Q

Q

What is Eisenmenger syndrome?

A

Uncorrected left to right shunt, causing chronic pulmonary hypertension.
This causes increased pulmonary vascular resistance and right ventricular hypertrophy which in turn equalises the pressures in the ventricles and subsequently reverses the shunt.

How can you differentiate between true cardiac aneurysm and false cardiac aneurysm?

A

True aneurysm have broad neck and contain all the layers of endocardium and epicardium. They can contain mural thrombus which can be calcified.

False aneurysms are a rupture of the myocardium which is contained by pericardium.
