Maxemo EMREE 26-27
A patient presents with fever and cough. CXR demonstrates a dense opacity in the right lower zone that obscures the right heart border. What is the primary radiographic abnormality?
💡 EXPLANATION:
The finding of an opacity obscuring the heart border (positive Silhouette sign) is characteristic of lobar consolidation (pneumonia). This represents alveolar filling with fluid/pus. Pleural effusions typically show a meniscus, while pneumothorax appears hyperlucent.
A 32y F non-smoker presents with recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax. HRCT chest reveals diffuse, uniformly distributed thin-walled cysts. What is the most likely diagnosis?

A 32y F non-smoker presents with recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax. HRCT chest reveals diffuse, uniformly distributed thin-walled cysts. What is the most likely diagnosis?
💡 EXPLANATION:
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) affects women of childbearing age, presenting with recurrent pneumothorax and diffuse thin-walled cysts on HRCT. PLCH is associated with smoking and irregular cysts. Birt-Hogg-Dubé cysts are typically basal/subpleural.
