55-year-old lady presented with haemoptysis accompanied by loss of appetite and weight of 15kg over 4 months. Serial xrays taken over 8 weeks duration showed progressive RUL lung opacity into whole white-out right lung opacities. Unable to tolerate flexible bronchoscopy or CT-guided lung biopsy due to cough and oxygenation. Differential diagnoses apart from lung ca were pulmonary tuberculosis or fungal lung infection. HPE from aspiration of swelling over cervical vertebrae (C2/C3) together with CT neck/lung confirmed lung adenocarcinoma with lung mass extended to cervical area.

Pneumosiderosis is an occupational lung disease that occurs as a result of inhalation of iron dusts. This is 44 year old male pt who is smoker and works as welder presents with a few months history of worsening dyspnea and dry cough.

FDG PET-CT was performed for medical surveillance. Images show hypermetabolic area consistent with bilateral ground glass opacities, COVID-19 serology was performed and confirmed.

What is the cause of the opacities at both lung bases?

50 yo M presents w/ increased dyspnea with exertion. Axial CT with lung windows shows bilateral patchy ground glass opacities with interlobular septal thickening, “crazy-paving”. Diagnosis?

Conclusion

Details of similar cases imply progression in understanding and diagnosing lung-related conditions.
