【 摘 要 】

No abstract available. Article truncated after first page. Clinical History: A 68-year old Hispanic man presented to the emergency department with dry cough for two days and was found to be hypoxic, with O2 saturation in the high 80’s. The patient’s clinical history is significant for remote 3 year smoking history and former occupation as a miner. Frontal and lateral chest radiography (Figure 1) was obtained. Based on the appearance of the chest radiograph, which of the following is the least likely diagnosis? 1. Osteophyte; 2. Peripheral nerve sheath tumor; 3. Pneumonia; 4. Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (AVM).
