Today's case: S/P cosmetic fat grafting procedure & dyspnea. X-ray: mild diffuse consolidation. CTA: No pulmonary thrombus w/ diffuse ground-glass opacity due to fat embolism syndrome. Take that all of you who say you can’t see GGO on plain film!

Put together a case by looking at corners of the CXR. There’s a right upper lobe nodule, confirmed on CT. Pathologic fracture right distal humerus (arrow R humerus film) indicates the nodule is cancer, metastatic to bone.

This week, I'll post daily cases. Today: Septal (Kerley B) lines. These lines most often occur as a result of pulmonary edema as in this case & are best seen in the basilar lung periphery, extending perpendicularly to the pleural surface.
