Q

Lucent lesion surrounding the root of a tooth, ill defined margin, not associated with unerupted tooth or tooth like:

  • Ameloblastoma
  • Metastasis
  • Dentigerous cyst
  • Odontoma
A
  • LW:
  • Ameloblastoma: unlikely, i would expect descriptors of multi cystic, solid components, expansion mandible, extensive root absorption etc
  • Metastasis: possible
  • Dentigerous cyst: FALSE - associated with un erupted crown of tooth
  • Odontoma: Unlikely: usually radiodense, adjacent to but not surrounding tooth root, although do start off lucent.

so…..options are: mets, or correct answer not recalled.
Kind of sounds like a peri apical cyst / radicular cyst: located apex of non vital tooth, round, with well corticated border (this factor doesnt fit with stem sadly), usually <2cm…

*AJL - agrees with above. Of the options available I would favour mets.

Q

40 yr old, hyper vascular lesion on CT, MRI with gad shows isointense T2, high arterial, low portal venous, low on delayed images:

  • HCC
  • Adenoma
  • FNH
  • Fibrolamellar
A

-HCC washout

*LW: unsure of this, HCC is usually T2 hyperintense, however other factors are suggestive.
-Adenoma technically remains a possibility.
Hopefully more discriminating features in acutal question, e.g. primovist used, scar, etc…..

*AJL - Also unsure. HCC should be T2 high. Adenoma should be portal venous iso. Neither quite fits.

*IVM: could also be FLHCC (clasically heterogeneous enhancement).
Adenoma often cannot/should not be (depending on what you read) dx on enhancement pattern alone and need sequence to confirm intracellular fat.

  • Le fort 1
  • Le fort 2
  • Le Fort 3
  • Nasoethmoid
  • Tripod
A

-Le fort 2

**LJS - ?poor recall
Pterygoids involved = Le Forte. Frontonasal suture involvement = must be 2 or 3. Lateral wall of orbit would make it Le Forte 3, however base of teeth and ant/post maxillary sinus walls would be 2. Probably 2 with poor recall of lateral orbital rim (inferior orbital rim would be part of 2)

Q

Routine CXR, cord like structure on right side, separate from the right heart border, association:

A

-Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return
**SCS: Stem is Describing scimitar sign. Anomalous vein usually drains into the IVC
Associated with: ASD, systemic blood supply to lung, extra lobar sequestration, horseshoe lung (StatDx article on PAPVR)

*IVM: RP also includes; VSD, TOF, Patent ductus, vertebral anamolies

34
Q

5 yr old, Dyspnoea, CXR shows increased lung volumes, streaky lucenies in the mediastinum:

  • Asthma
  • Mycoplasma
  • Foreign body
A

a. Asthma probably. Sounds like pneumomediastinum and this is a (the most?) common cause.

35
Q

New born collapsed and cyanosed, CXR pulmonary plethora:

  • TOF
  • Transposition
  • VSD
  • Tricuspid atresia
A

-Transposition

**LJS - tricuspid atresia also presents with early cyanosis but pulmonary appearance depends on size of the associated VSD: small - decreased pulmonary vascularity; large - increased vascularity

**SCS:
this is testing causes of cyanotic HD.
Categorised by:
Increased pulmonary vascularity: TAPVR (snowman), TGA (egg on a string w narrow mediastinum), truncus arteriosus (think DiGeorge), LARGE AVSD.

VERSUS reduced pulmonary vascularity:
ToF, hypoplastic right heart (includes tricuspid atresia), ebstein anomaly (massif ‘box shaped’ heart), and other rando ones…

VSD is left to right shunt, but not a cyanotic presentation typically (if small).

36
Q

Characteristic feature of meconium aspiration:

  • Increased lung volumes

Q

MAG 3 scan, instructions to patient:

  • Injection, immediate scan for half an hour
  • Injection, immediate scan for 1 hour
  • Injection, scan at 3 hours for half n hour
  • Injection, scan at 3 hours for 1 hour
  • Injection, return next day, scan at 24 hours
A

a. Injection, immediate scan for half an hour flow at 60 seconds then every 5 mins for 25 or so minutes

38
Q

Bone scan, instructions to patient:(asking about scanning procedure
- how often scan occurs and at what frequency)

A

Every 5s or so for 60secs (flow)5mins (pool) 2-4hourssometimes 24hrs (if doing 4 phase).

39
Q

Bone scan radiation dose compared to chest X-ray:

  • 15 times
  • 200 times
  • 50 times
A

b. 200 times

6mSv for bone scan

40
Q

Risk of solid cancer when exposed to 10sv radiation:

  • 1 in 100
  • 1 in 1000
  • 1 in 10000
  • 1 in 100000
A

b. 1 in 1000

WJI *disagree. This is too low. Firstly LD50 approx 3-4sv so 10sv would kill you. Cancer risk approx 5%/sievert so approx 50% or 1 in 2 assuming you could somehow not die.
Probably a typo. Risk for 10MILLIsieverts as below:
1Sv = 5/100
0.1Sv = 5/1000
0.01Sv = 10mSv =5/10000 = 1 in 2000; so 1 in 1000 best answer for 10mSv

41
Q

Young female, limb pain worse at night:

  • Osteoid osteoma
  • Osteoblastoma
A

a. Osteoid osteoma

42
Q

Forefoot pain, female, ultrasound shows compressible hypoechoic area in the subcutaneous fat at the level of 2nd to 4th metatarsal heads:

  • Adventitial bursitis
  • Intermetatarsal bursitis
  • Morton neuroma
  • Stress fracture
  • Synovitis
A

-Adventitial bursitis

**SCS agree
NOTE: This has been recalled slightly differently on RD 2017.
I have pasted the question and relevant discussion FROM THAT recall below:

a. Adventitial bursitis yes
23. Pain 2nd/3rd intermetatarsal spaces with compressible hypechoic pockets in the subcutaneous fat overlying metatarsal heads

a. Adventitial bursitis yes
b. Intermetatarsal bursitis
c. Mortons neuroma

*IVM: Unsure how you can differentiate between intermetatarsal and adventitial bursitis?
Adventitial bursitis: anechoic, affects plantar fat pad near MT head 1st and 5th
Intermetatarsal bursitis is between 2 metatarsal heads dorsal to the intermetatarsal ligament. Hypoechoic. Compressible/resolves with compression.
Mortons neuroma : perineural fibrosis around the plantar digital nerve. Nodule plantar to the intermetatarsal ligmament. Hypoechoic. Not compressible according to RD. Most common sites 2nd and 3rd intertarsal spaces

MM - I think key words here are non compressible (so not Morton) and its overlying bony prominence so would agree with adventitial bursitis rather than intermetatarsal bursitis.

43
Q

Fall onto hip, greater trochanter fracture on X-ray, MRI shows oedema in the femur neck:

  • Subtrochanteric fracture
  • Intertrochanteric fracture
  • Stress fracture of femoral neck
  • Lesser trochanter fracture
A

b. Intertrochanteric fracture

WJI: This would suggest neck of femur fracture rather than intertrochanteric fracture; but unlikely to be an incidental stress fracture. ?incorrect wording recalled

44
Q

Young child, CXR shows hyperlucent left hemithorax, CT shows no discernible right pulmonary artery
:-Some Tracheal sling
-Pulmonary agenesis
-Swyer James

A

Pulmonary agenesis

CT will confirm the absence of lung parenchyma and mediastinal ipsilateral shift. Contralateral lung hyperinflation is usual with herniation of the normal lung into the contralateral hemithorax. Also, there is an ipsilateral absence of pulmonary artery. It may also show other cardiac congenital malformations and ipsilateral bronchus remnant.

**LJS - swyer-james would have small PA on the same side as hyperinflation
WJI - not true, not hyperinflated. I think Lotte means hyperlucency. Swyer james is SMALL, hyperlucent lung with reduced vascularity

45
Q

Contrast swallow oesophagus appearance:

  • Double aortic arch with reverse S indentation
  • Right main bronchus indents oesophagus
  • Abberant right subclavian courses between trachea and oesophagus

47
Q

Breast lesion metastatic carcinoid on biopsy, mammogram features:

  • Well defined margin
  • Microlobulated margin
  • Ill defined margin
  • Spiculated
A

a. Well defined margin I think so. See aug 2014 WA

**LJS - agree, typically well defined
Their typical presentation as sharply circumscribed masses can lead to misinterpretation as a fibroadenoma, medullary carcinoma, mucinous carcinoma, or cyst

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2993447/#:~:text=Metastatic%20carcinoid%20to%20the%20breast,lump%20or%20an%20abnormal%20mammogram.

Mammography:

  • Screening mammo is one view, diagnostic is 2 views
  • Skin line should not be visible
  • Pectoral line should not be seen till the level of nipple
  • medial lesion is inferior on the oblique view than on the lateral
  • Retroareolar lesions are commonly missed
A

d. medial lesion is inferior on the oblique view than on the lateral yes. Muffins rise.
51. Mammography:
a. Screening mammo is one view, diagnostic is 2 views -false
b. Skin line should not be visible - didn’t used to be with film, is with digital
c. Pectoral line should not be seen till the level of nipple - yes it should

d. medial lesion is inferior on the oblique view than on the lateral - yes. Muffins rise.
WJI - muffins rise from oblique to lateral. Confusing as asking inverse.

e. Retroareolar lesions are commonly missed trueish, depends what you mean by common.

Q

Patient with deranged LFT, suspicious of CBD lesion, gastroenterologist unable to put a stent. PTC performed and able to get wire past the mass. Staging not performed:

  • Leave a pigtail catheter with tip in second part of duodenum
  • Pigtail catheter in CBD
  • Biliary drain
  • Bare metallic stent
  • Covered metallic stent
A
  • Leave a pigtail catheter with tip in second part of duodenum
    d. Bare metallic stent only if non-resectable

**SCS Disagree:
Pigtail catheter, WTF, no side holes in intrahepatic portion…
Would need a biliary catheter (internal/external drain.
Or stenting is an option

CCF - The answer is Biliary drain (external).
(Technically internal-external biliary drain means drain is in the duodenum, which would require crossing the lesion)
Agree with Saj re pigtail - cannot curl in CBD - madness/rupture.
All other options would require you to cross the lesion with a wire and therefore impossible in this setting (testing if you have a rough idea of how these are placed).
**SCS; note wire WAS able to be passed… so int-external drain would be best IMO +|- stent.
- CCF ^ Fair - I miss read that.

    a. Fluid in sub deltoid bursa indicates rotator cuff tear no. Bursitis as well. Contrast in here indicates tear
    b. Fluid in biceps tendon sheath indicates biceps tendon pathology also associated with rotator cuff tears, calcific tendonitis, adhesive capsulitis. . https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4553284/
    c. Post surgical improvement depends on the extent of rotator cuff tear doesn’t appear to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4503607/#!po=40.9091

Q

Lung nodule 7 mm. Non contrast CT performed. Which is most likely:

  • CT guided biopsy
  • More than 35 units enhancement with contrast indicates 97% chance of malignancy
  • Stability on scan in 30 months is a good indicator of it being benign
  • Follow up at 12 months
A

c. Stability on scan in 30 months is a good indicator of it being benign see answers for aug 2014 WA ??would f/u - dimming depending on solid/solid ground glass or ground glass

**LJS - could also be f/u at 12 months if single solid nodule (both low and high risk)

Q

Known metastatic disease, bone lesion in ilium, how to biopsy:

  • FNA in an approachable path
  • Core in an approachable path
  • FNA posterior approach avoiding gluteal muscles
  • Core posterior approach avoiding gluteal muscles
A

b. Core in an approachable path

SCS weakly disagree:
Crack the core MSK chapter says something about avoiding the gluteal muscles as they are often used in reconstruction.
I favour Core posterior approach avoiding gluteal compartment if possible.

Q

Bone scan:

-Flare phenomenon is the appearance of chemotherapy resistant metastasis - false

A

a. Flare phenomenon is the appearance of chemotherapy resistant metastasis - False

It is the formation of sclerotic rim around previously occult lesions with treatment, not a sign of progression.
Usually seen 2 weeks to 3 months (occasionally as late as 6 months).
Flare phenomenon or osteoblastic flare phenomenon refers to interval visualization of lesions with a sclerotic rim around an initially lytic lesion or sclerosis of lesions previously undetected on radiograph or CT in the setting of follow-up of an oncological patient with other signs of partial response to treatment. It does not indicate disease progression but the healing of previously inconspicuous lesions.
As it can be misinterpreted as progression in bone metastasis, follow up bone scintigraphy for 6 months or more is the rule. If there is a subsequent decrease uptake in these lesions on repeat exam in 2-3 months, it then likely represents a flare phenomenon. If there is a continued increase in the number and intensity of lesions beyond 6 months, it is then usually indicative of disease progression.i.e need f/u to exclude malignancy

Q

Post uterine fibroid embolisation, patient has low grade fever, mildly raised leucocytes, CRP, no tachycardia, no hypotension:

  • Pseudoaneurysm
  • Post embolisation syndrome
  • Bleeding
  • Infection
A

b. Post embolisation syndrome

Post-embolisation syndrome (PES) is one of the commonest side effects of transarterial embolisation and chemoembolisation. It comprises of a constellation of fever, nausea/vomiting, and pain. It usually occurs within the first 72 hours after embolisation (liver lesion or uterine fibroids) and then starts to subside after 72 hours

  1. It is not to be mistaken for a predictor of impending infection. Hence performing blood cultures in the absence of other factors is unnecessary
  2. This condition is more often associated with large fibroids or large tumour embolisation.

  • Pleural effusion
A

-Post pneumonectomy complication

69
Q

Post lung biopsy, pneumothorax with more than 50% collapse of lung, patient well. Next step:

  • Oxygen
  • Immediate chest drain
  • Chest drain on the same day
  • X-ray in 4 hours
  • X-ray in 24 hours
A
  • Immediate chest drain
  • LW: agree one would likely place chest drain sooner rather than later, but wouldnt one give oxygen while setting up for chest drain…so the first next step would be oxygen….. the dark side only confuses matters
  • AJL - yes….. well that made it complicated.
  • WJI I would chose drain. I think choosing oxygen suggests this as appropriate management of the problem.

Q

Female, Dyspnoea, tachycardia, ECG shows S1Q3T3 pattern, D dimer positive. VQ scan shows:

  • Multiple segmental perfusion defects
  • Multiple tiny perfusion defects
  • Matched defects
A

-Multiple segmental perfusion defects

80
Q

VQ scan, pioped criteria:

  • More than one mismatched defect is suggestive of PE
  • Low probability excludes PE
  • Absence of perfusion in one lung is more suggestive of compressing brochogenic tumor than a large embolus
  • 90% resolve
A

c. Absence of perfusion in one lung is more suggestive of compressing brochogenic tumor than a large embolus

High probability- two or more large mismatched segmental defects or equivalent moderate/large defects with a normal x-ray- any perfusion defect substantially larger than the radiographic abnormality

Low probability- nonsegmental defects: small effusion, blunting costophrenic angle, cardiomegaly, elevated diaphragm, ectatic aortaany perfusion defect with a substantially larger radiographic abnormality- matched ventilation and perfusion defects with a normal chest radiograph- small subsegmental perfusion defects

*ESG weakly disagree, favour the first option (as “more than one” defect fulfils criteria for “two or more”). Decent article regarding ddx for whole lung mismatched defects (ddx = PE, mediastinal fibrosis, obstructing hilar mass, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary vein stenosis, unilateral transplant with no perfusion in bad lung)

(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6194779/)
In our experience, perihilar tumors more often cause whole-lung matched perfusion defects than mismatched defects on V/Q scans. By the time a tumor is large enough to obstruct the central pulmonary vasculature and the perfusion of an entire lung; it usually has obstructed most of the central airways. Indeed, we have found that whole-lung mismatched perfusion defects are more often secondary to fibrosing mediastinitis and pulmonary vein stenosis than cancer.

Q

Pelvis X-ray: sclerosis on the ilial side of sacroiliac joint, inferiorly:

  • Ankylosing spondylitis
  • Septic arthritis
  • Psoriatic arthropathy
  • Osteitis ilii condensates.
A

Osteitis ilii condensates.

*LW:
Osteitis ilii condensates:
Sclerosis of the iliac side of the sacroiliac joint, typically bilateral, symmetrical, and triangular in shape
Lack of sacral involvement or joint space narrowing is considered diagnostic and may obviate the need for further imaging.
