22. Mesothelioma X-ray (female)
Cancer that begins in the tissue mesothelium that lines the lungs, heart, stomach, and other organs. This causes a painful cough, difficulty breathing, chest pain, abdominal pain, and weight loss.
It is very rare with fewer than 20,000 cases per year in the US.
The patient is a 70-year-old female who presented with right, posterior thoracic non-pleuritic pain, progressive dyspnea, and weight loss.
- Normal CTR, no evidence of cardiac failure
- No concerning nodules/masses in context of weight loss
- Bibasal pleural reactions and atelectasis – R>L
- Possible right basal consolidation but no air bronchograms visible

23. Brachymetatarsia X-ray (female)
Brachymetatarsia is a rare congenital or acquired condition characterized by a shortened fourth metatarsal bone in the foot. This condition can lead to pain, difficulty walking, and discomfort in the affected foot. In some cases, brachymetatarsia may be caused by a genetic disorder, injury, or developmental issues. Treatment options may include orthotics, shoe modifications, or surgery to correct the deformity and alleviate symptoms in severe cases. Brachymetatarsia can affect anyone, but it is more common in females and individuals with a family history of the condition. It is often asymptomatic and presented for cosmetic concerns. When symptomatic, usually due to transfer metatarsalgia.
- Bilateral brachymetatarsia in 13yo female – congenitally short metatarsus
- Left 3rd and 4th, right 4th metatarsals affected
- Caused by premature closure of metatarsal growth plates. Typically affects 4th metatarsal in female patients
- Incidental finding during trauma workup – pedestrian vs vehicle accident
- No acute post-traumatic bony abnormalities
