Q

Describe the process that commonly leads to lung lobe torsion

25
Q

Patients with bone marrow transplants (neutropenic) are more likely to have this type of pulmonary mass

A

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis + mucormycosis

26
Q

Symptom for patients with pulmonary infarction

A

Hemoptysis (but continue anticoagulation)

27
Q

Most common cause of endemic fungal pneumonia (in the midwest)

A

Histoplasmosis

28
Q

Patients with this condition have atopy/asthma, neuropathic and skin lesions, high absolute eosinophils, and infiltrates and nodules without cavitations

A

Granulomatous with polyangiitis (Wegener’s)

29
Q

Since malignancy can hide in lung infiltrates, imaging should be repeated after this much time to get resolution

A

6 weeks to 3 months

30
Q

This focal pulmonary infiltrate looks like pneumonia on chest x-ray, but the patient will have NO symptoms (no fever, chills, or elevated WBCs)

A

Alveolar cell carcinoma

31
Q

Treatment for ABPA (allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillus)

A

Prednisone (treat the asthma)

32
Q

Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia will show up like this on chest x-ray

A

“Reverse pulmonary edema” - more white on outside, clear in the center

33
Q

Mycoplasma pneumonia primarily shows up in these areas of the lungs

A

Lung bases or right middle lobe

34
Q

Aspiration of an oily substance can lead to lipoid pneumonia. Diagnosis of which can be confirmed with this test

A

39
Q

A granulomas solitary pulmonary nodule would look like this on a PET scan

Bulky hilar and mediastinal adenopathy is associated with this multifocal pulmonary infiltrate

A

Hodgkin’s lymphoma

54
Q

In what way might viral pneumonia appear differently to bacterial pneumonia on chest x-ray?

A

Viral follows airways, so looks more streaky on chest x-rays

A

Radiation pneumonitis

56
Q

Most common cause of bacterial pneumonia
