Q
  1. 60 year old woman with new well defined mass on mammogram

a. IDC
b. ILC
c. Phyllodes
d. FA
e. Mucinous

A

*AJL - Answer may be mucinous as these are typically well-defined whereas IDC is typically described as spiculated (though has a variety of appearances). Against this is classic age of mucinous is 75y and IDC 50-60y. Hopefully there are more clues in the question.

  • LW - agree with mucinous appearances logic. To blurr the waters….mucinous comparitvely very rare 3% vs common IDC (76%)
  • AJL - yes good point, IDC is more common therefore probably most correct
  • RY - Could also be phyllodes

a. IDC yes
2. 60 year old woman with new well defined mass on mammogram

a. IDC yes
b. ILC
c. Phyllodes
d. FA
e. Mucinous

*LW: breast cancer subtype frequency:
●Infiltrating ductal – 76 percent
●Invasive lobular – 8 percent
●Ductal/lobular – 7 percent
●Mucinous (colloid) – 2.4 percent
●Tubular – 1.5 percent
●Medullary – 1.2 percent

A
  1. MRI knee in a young man, which is true?
    a. Medial and lateral collaterals are not in the same plane

*AJL - MCL is more anterior.
Not relevant for this queswtion but… if LCL is seen on a single coronal plane then it is suggestive of anterior tibial translation.

Q
  1. 2 year old with increasing head size, increased T2 in forceps minor

a. Adrenoleukodystrophy
b. Alexander
c. Canavan

A

b. Alexander yes
5. 2 year old with increasing head size, increased T2 in forceps minor

a. Adrenoleukodystrophy
b. Alexander yes
c. Canavan

  • *LJS - Canavan also has a big noggin and presents in infancy. Can;t find anything specific about forceps minor for either
  • ESG - forceps minor = anterior white matter. X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (and Krabbe) are posterior predominant, Alexander (and metachromatic leukodystrophy) are anterior, and Canavan is diffuse. Both Alexander and Canavan have big heads, Alexander due to obstruction of CSF from swelling of periaqueductal region and basal ganglia

*SCS see summary table in crack the core.
StatDx: canavans:
Congenital: fatal 1st few days
infantile canavans (3-6 months). Fatal in “second year” of life… ? Therefore best available answer as question is written -> Alexander.

Q
  1. 20 year old guy with 2cm vascular epididymal mass

a. Adenomatoid
b. Lipoma

A

a. Adenomatoid

WJI: most common paratesticular solid mass is lipoma but this is typically avascular.
Adenomatoid tumour is second most common.
Leiomyoma or sperm granuloma are rarer and heterogeneous.

ADB-> Adenomatoid most common tumour of the “epididymis”, and occur more often in the lower pole than in the upper pole by a ratio of 4:1.

Cystic:
spermatocoele, epididymal cyst, papillary cystadenoma
Hydroceoele, pyocoele, haematocoele, varicocoele

Mets are hypoechoic and you can get cord liposarcoma. Everything else is benign

Q
  1. 18 month year old lower leg deformity with anterolateral bowing of the tibia

a. Physiological
b. Blounts

A

*LW:
Favour this to be incomplete recall:
Bowing refers to which direction the apex of the deformity points.
Stem states tibial bowing (not knee), and anterolateral bowing.
Normal physilogical bowing at knee - genu varum upto 2yrs, then brief valgus angulation upto 3 yrs before normalisation.
Most likely implying normal physiological, although anterolateral tibial bowing is associated with NF1 and pseudo arthorosis.

a. Physiological yes
13. 18 month year old lower leg deformity with anterolateral bowing of the tibia

a. Physiological yes
b. Blounts

*ESG agree NF1. StatDx:

Congenital/Infantile Tibial Bowing
Typically unilateral congenital or infantile diaphyseal deformity
3 classic patterns characterized by direction of apex

Posteromedial
Typically physiologic
Secondary to intrauterine positioning
± associated calcaneovalgus foot deformity

Anteromedial
Associated with fibular hemimelia (range of fibular abnormalities from hypoplastic to absent)

Anterolateral
High association with neurofibromatosis type 1
Bowing is typically at junction of mid to distal 1/3 of tibia
Often with narrowing, sclerosis, or cystic change at apex
May develop fracture & pseudarthrosis

Q
  1. MRI, what increases signal to noise ratio

a. Decreasing voxel size
b. Decreasing field strength
c. Increased phase encoding gradients

A

all wrong

  1. MRI, what increases signal to noise ratio

a. Decreasing voxel size - no, SNR linearly proportional to voxel volume. Increasing FOV or reducing matrix size would incr SNR (by incr voxel volume)
b. Decreasing field strength - F
Although a number of complex factors determine image quality, signal-to-noise is approximately proportional to field strength. All other things being equal, therefore, the signal-to-noise ratio will be smaller in a lower-field scanner. Consequently, to maintain equivalent signal-to-noise, more signal averages and longer imaging times will be necessary in a lower-field scanner.
c. Increased phase encoding gradients

*LW:
b. Carcinoid most common malignancy in the distal small bowel: TRUE; with regards to distal small bowel most at risk for carcinoid and lymphoma, with carcinoid more common than lymphoma.
(- Mets are more common than primaries. Adenocarcinoma 30-50%, carcinoid 25-30%, leiomyosarcoma 10%, lymphoma 15-20%.)

  1. Small bowel true

a. Benign mass more common than malignant:
If referring to neoplasms, this is false with approx. 60% of small bowel neoplasms being malignant.

b. Carcinoid most common malignancy in the distal small bowel: TRUE; with regards to distal small bowel most at risk for carcinoid and lymphoma, with carcinoid more common than lymphoma.
(- Mets are more common than primaries. Adenocarcinoma 30-50%, carcinoid 25-30%, leiomyosarcoma 10%, lymphoma 15-20%.)

c. P-J adenomatous polyposis syndrome: FALSE, Peutz jehgers syndrome is non neoplastic multiple hamartomatous polyps, being one of the polyposis syndromes. Although polyps are not malignant them selves, there is an increased risk of adenocarcinoma.
d. Lymphoma most common proximal small bowel: FALSE - ileum.

e. Intusseption the most common presentation: FALSE - Abdominal pain, weight loss, nausea, and vomiting were the most common presenting symptoms for small bowel tumors, radiologically: masses, concentreic lumen narrowing, complete bowel obstruction, circumfrential wall thickening of lymphoma, ulceration. Atypical imaging findings include intussecption.

Q
  1. Test with MRI as gold standard, how to calculate prevalence disease by total population
A

*LW;

Prevalence is a measure of disease that allows us to determine a person’s likelihood of having a disease. Therefore, the number of prevalent cases is the total number of cases of disease existing in a population. A prevalence rate is the total number of cases of a disease existing in a population divided by the total population. So, if a measurement of cancer is taken in a population of 40,000 people and 1,200 were recently diagnosed with cancer and 3,500 are living with cancer, then the prevalence of cancer is 0.118. (or 11,750 per 100,000 persons)

Incidence is a measure of disease that allows us to determine a person’s probability of being diagnosed with a disease during a given period of time. Therefore, incidence is the number of newly diagnosed cases of a disease. An incidence rate is the number of new cases of a disease divided by the number of persons at risk for the disease. If, over the course of one year, five women are diagnosed with breast cancer, out of a total female study population of 200 (who do not have breast cancer at the beginning of the study period), then we would say the incidence of breast cancer in this population was 0.025. (or 2,500 per 100,000 women-years of study)

Q
  1. Young man with jaw lesion, partially formed tooth within cystic lesion displacing the roots of the molar

a. Odontoma
b. KCOT
c. Dentigerous cyst
d. Fibrous dysplasia

A

*AJL - Ondontoma. Gary agreed (essentially tooth hamartoma).

**LJS - unsure. Dentigerous cyst surrounds crown of unerrupted tooth. Cyst encloses crown rather than being around roots
I think odontoma - most common odontogenic tumour, contains tooth components, cystic early on
Otherwise KCOT, displaces roots but ?doesn’t contain partially formed tooth

***LW: difficult question, hope another dsicriminator would be present. I favour odontoma, as approx. half are associated with unerupted tooth (i.e. partially formed tooth stem), and initially begin as lucent (cytic component of stem). Pre test probability also favors odontoma, being most common lesion. Without mentioning crown, it makes me exclude dentigerous.

Q
  1. ZMC fracture

a. Diplopia suggests inferior oblique entrapment
b. ZF suture involvement means may be le fort III
c. Downwards displacement of the medial canthus
d. Facial numbness suggests facial nerve involvement
e. Orbital floor involvement is rare

A

*AJL unsure. ZF suture involvement is typical of tripod fracture and le forte 3, the latter is is distinguished by involving nasofrontal suture, medial orbit, pterygoid plates etc.
Either inferior oblique or inferior rectus may be trapped in an orbital floor fracture so this is probably the most likely?

b. ZF suture involvement means may be le fort III -yes
35. ZMC fracture

a. Diplopia suggests inferior oblique entrapment - no, inferior rectus
b. ZF suture involvement means may be le fort III -yes
c. Downwards displacement of the medial canthus - lateral
d. Facial numbness suggests facial nerve involvement - V2
e. Orbital floor involvement is rare - no

*ESG - agree b), diplopia due to IR entrapment is more classic for orbital floor blowout fracture, ZMC can get lateral rectus entrapment in the lateral wall fracture causing diplopia

  1. Infective endocarditis, not an expected finding

a. Perforated leaflets
b. Thickened chordae
c. Fusion of leaflets
d. Perivalve abscess
e. Annular pseudoaneurysm

A

**LJS -disagree. Chordae tendinae are involved (Robbins does not mention but radiopedia and papers do). I think fusion of leaflets if characteristic of chronic RHD and unexpected in infective endocarditis

*LW:
RObbins states infective endocarditis can affect the chordae or myocardium, resulting in destruction (figure 11.20 pg 428)
Preferred answers:
a. Perforated leaflets - true
b. Thickened chordae - thickened and then can rupture
c. Fusion of leaflets - think this is false, occurs in chronic rheumatic heart disease

Q
  1. Inverted papilloma
    a. Associated with SCC
    b. Starts in nasal septum
    c. Cause of isolated frontal sinus opacification
A

a. Associated with SCC yes
41. Inverted papilloma

a. Associated with SCC yes
b. Starts in nasal septum
c. Cause of isolated frontal sinus opacification

*LW:
Inverted papillomas most commonly occur on the lateral wall of the nasal cavity, most frequently related to the middle turbinate/middle meatus and maxillary ostium, although they are seen elsewhere in the nasal passage. As the mass enlarges it results in bony remodelling and resorption and often extends into the maxillary antrum.

10% either degenerate into or coexist with SCCa

A

d. Maxillary sinus yes
42. Mass in pterygopalatine fossa, where is it least likely to spread

a. Into cranium
b. Nose
c. Infratemporoal fossa
d. Maxillary sinus yes

*LW:
Pterygopalatine communications:
- medially: communicates with the nasal cavity via the sphenopalatine foramen, which transmits the sphenopalatine artery, the nasopalatine nerve and the posterior superior nasal nerves

  • laterally: communicates with the masticator space (or infratemporal fossa) via the pterygomaxillary fissure
  • anteriorly: communicates with the orbit via the inferior orbital fissure (superiorly)
  • posteriorly and superiorly: communicates with the Meckel cave and cavernous sinus (of the middle cranial fossa) via the foramen rotundum
  • posteriorly and inferiorly: communicates with the middle cranial fossa via the vidian canal, which transmits the Vidian nerve
  • posteriorly and medially: the palatovaginal canal transmits the pharyngeal nerve and the pharyngeal branch of maxillary artery to the nasopharynx.
  • inferiorly: communicates with the palate via the greater and lesser palatine canals (often these canals arise from the one canal, referred to as either the greater palatine canal or the pterygopalatine canal)

Q
  1. Regarding thymus

a. Thymolipoma doesn’t compress the mediastinal structures
b. Benign lesions spread along the pleura
c. Hyperplasia most common form of enlargement in adolescents

A

**LJS - unsure.
Thymolipoma commonly asx and conforms to surrounding structures, but when they have sx, it is due to mass effect on heart and lung (stat dx)
Thymic hyperplasia is rare during adolescence (most anterior mediastinal masses are neoplasms)
*AJL - Thymic hyperplasia is relatively uncommon so I would favour thymolipoma option overall. Don’t really know though.

Q
  1. Most likely with regard to TB

a. Secondary not uncommonly presents with pneumothorax
b. Primary associated with effusions
c. Primary associated with cavitation

A
  • LW:
    a. Secondary not uncommonly presents with pneumothorax: FALSE, no mention of penumothorax in radiopedia.

b. Primary associated with effusions: TRUE - radiopedia states primary can present with effusions.
c. Primary associated with cavitation: FALSE, usually dense consolidation mid - lower zones, peripherally.

Primary pulmonary tuberculosis manifests as five main entities:

1) parenchymal disease: usually manifests as dense, homogeneous parenchymal consolidation in any lobe however, predominance in the lower and middle lobes (subpleural sites) is suggestive of the disease, especially in adults 1
2) lymphadenopathy
3) miliary opacities
4) Clustered parenchymal opacification may give a galaxy sign
5) pleural effusion

Post primary / secondary:
Parenchymal disease
- ill-defined patchy consolidation
- clustered parenchymal opacification may give rise to a galaxy sign
- cavitation usually develops within the consolidation
- fibroproliferative disease with coarse reticulonodular densities
- endobronchial spread with “tree-in-bud” appearance,
- healing results in fibrosis, volume loss and traction bronchiectasis
- lymphadenopathy occurs only in 5% cases
Airway disease
- Central airway involvement results in bronchial stenosis which may lead to lobar collapse associated with traction bronchiectasis and mucoid impaction.
Pleural disease
- occurs in a minority of cases (18%)
- small pleural effusion
- pleural thickening
- pleural calcification
