A 55 year-old man with a history of prostate cancer complains of chest pain. What is the cause of his chest pain? See image 3.
-
Pneumonia
-
Primary lung tumour
-
Rib metastasis
-
Haematoma
Correct Answer
A. Rib metastasisExplanation
The most likely cause of the 55-year-old man's chest pain is rib metastasis. Rib metastasis refers to the spread of cancer cells from another primary tumor to the ribs. In this case, the patient's history of prostate cancer suggests that the cancer may have metastasized to the ribs, leading to the chest pain. This is a common occurrence in advanced stages of cancer, where cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system.Rate this question:

A 60 year-old smoker presents to her GP with weight loss and haemoptysis. What does this CXR show? Enter your answer in the space provided. See image 1.
Correct Answer
Left upper lobe collapse
Veil sign
Upper lobe collapseExplanation
The CXR image likely shows left upper lobe collapse. This is suggested by the presence of the "veil sign," which refers to a hazy opacity seen on the CXR due to the collapsed lung. Upper lobe collapse is also a possible answer as it is a more general term that encompasses left upper lobe collapse. The patient's symptoms of weight loss and haemoptysis are concerning for lung cancer, which can lead to lobar collapse.Rate this question:
