Coronal STIR MR in an infant with Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP) and a purple chest wall mass shows a heterogeneous lesion of the superficial right chest wall soft tissues (arrow). In the setting of an infant with a vascular mass and the characteristic coagulopathy, the appearance is typical for a Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE). #ThoraxThursday

This enhancing, well-circumscribed mass lies at the junction of the superficial fascia and gastrocnemius muscle. Considerations include venous malformation, nerve sheath tumor, fibrous lesion, nodular fasciitis, and sarcoma. Biopsy confirmed nodular fasciitis, a benign fibroblastic tumor. #MSKMonday

Longitudinal ultrasound of the chest wall in infant with a growing “soft lump” shows an elongated heterogeneously hyper- & hypo-echoic soft tissue mass of the subcutaneous fat (denoted by arrows & calipers). No large vessels are seen in the lesion by grayscale imaging. Pulsed Doppler image through the same mass shows abundant internal vascular flow with many low resistance arterial waveforms. The density of high flow vessels (>5/cm), elongated & mildly lobulated configuration, mixed echogenicity, subcutaneous location & patient age are all typical of an infantile hemangioma. #ThoraxThursday

A 52-year-old man presented with a 20-minute history of chest pain radiating to the left shoulder and neck, associated with dyspnea and diaphoresis. He had a history of hypertension, long-term smoking, and a sedentary lifestyle. On physical examination, bibasilar crackles were noted on lung auscultation. An electrocardiogram (ECG) was performed in the primary care setting, and the patient was promptly referred to the emergency department.

A 28-year-old woman presented with a 3-day history of intense pruritus over the lower back. She reported no recent travel or exposure to new environments. She cares for a small kennel with approximately eight dogs rescued from the streets. Physical examination revealed multiple small vesicles, some clustered and others scattered, predominantly involving the lumbar region and the left gluteal area.

A 4-month-old male infant presented with skin lesions localized to the chin for the past 3 days. Physical examination revealed multiple small pustules with surrounding inflammatory signs on the chin, along with a few scattered papules on the chest.

patient in late teens presenting after a collapse, no chest pain, no previous cardiac history, no history of sudden death in family, are there any features in this ekg that would warrant further work-up or is this just a pediatric ekg?
