Red notes Part I Flashcards
The 2 kinds of Pleural Mesothelioma
Benign localized form
Malignant diffuse form
This kind of mesothelioma is related to asbestos exposure
Malignant Diffues Form
This is the MC primary tumor of the pleura
Pleural Mesothelioma
Extrapleural sign on radiographs is associated with
Pleural MEsothelioma
The 3 layers a teratoma is composed of
ecto
endo
mesoderm
This is the 3rd MC site for teratom
Thorax
Intrathoracic teratomas are usally found in this part
Anterior mediatinum
Thymic mass in the anterior mediastinal
Thymoma
Thymic Cyst
Thymic Hyperplasia
This thymic mass is the most likely
Thymoma
This thymic mass is MC in infants and children
Thymic Hyperplasia
This disease is in 35% of patients w/ thymoma
Myasthenia Gravis
Sarcoidosis is MC in
Women
African American
This is when the respiratory system is affected as a result of systemic capillary damage
Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome
ARDS leads to this affect in the capillaries
increase capillary permeability and pulmonary edema
Inciting agents for ARDS
Drug abuse
Smoke Inhalation
Transplants
This is an allergic lung disease do to occupational inhalation of organic agents
Extrinsic Allergic Alveolitis
Farmers lung
Moldy hay
Bird Fanciers disease
bird droppings
MC area of the lung affected by EAA
Upper lobe
This is a pulmonary disease caused by inhalation of inorganic dust and its accumulation in he lung
Pneumoconiosis
This type of pneumocomiosis goes away after you stop the exposure
Non-fibrogenic (benign)
Siderosis
weilders- Iron
Non fibrogenic
Silicosis
Coal miners-Silicon
Non fibrogenic
The two types of Fibrogenic (malignant) Pneumoconiosis
Black lung disease
Asbestos
The radiographic findings for Silicosis
“eggshell” pattern of calcification
This is a collection of air in the pleural space
Pneumothorax
This is the MC cause of pneumothorax
Traumatic
Bullae is
a collection of sir cyst in lung (ex. Emphysema)
Bleb is
a small bulla on edge of lung (ex: congential defect; primary spontaneous pneumothorax)
Crescent-shaped radiolucent shadow is assocaited with this
Pneumothorax
These two films demonstrate pneumothorax the best
Upright
Inspiratory
Expiratory
Cresent shaped radiolucent shadows are usually in
Upper lateral portion of lung
This is a multisystem aggregation of noncaseating (non destructive) epitheloid granulomas
Sarcoidosis
Lab test to confirm Sarcoidosis
biopsy
Kviem lab test
Stage 1 of Sarcoidosis
bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy
