MC condition to produce TRANSUDATIVE PLEURAL effusion
Congestive Heart Failure
*effusion in the right > left
Effusion associated with pneumonia
PARAPNEUMONIC EFFUISION
PLEURAL EFFUSION with parenchymal infection EXTENDS into the pleural space
EMPYEMA
MCC (pathogen) of parapneumonic effusion and empyema
STAPH

Fibrosarcoma
MC BENIGN Tracheal neoplasm which produce WELL-Defined tracheal mass
Chondroma
SESSILE AND PEDUNCULATED FRIBROUS masses that arises in the CERVICAL trachea
Fibroma
Tracheal mucosal lesion that is cause by HPV. commonly seen in children born to women with condylomata acuminata (vereneal warts)
SQUAMOUS CELL PAPILLOMA
a tracheal neoplasm that arises in the neural elements of the tracheal and bronchial wall that has high tendency for local recurrece. CT demonstrates broad-based or pedunculated soft tissue mass invading the tracheal wall
GRANULAR CELL TUMOR
Small linear defects or “webs” is pulmonary arteries are indicative of
Chronic PE
