Hepatopulmonary fusion
Hepatopulmonary fusion (HPF) is a very rare congenital malformation associated with a right-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), defined as the fusion of the herniated liver parenchyma and the right hypoplastic lung 1.
Epidemiology
Right-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia with hepat...

Pulmonary aplasia
Pulmonary aplasia is a rare congenital pathology in which there is unilateral or bilateral absence of lung tissue. It is different from pulmonary agenesis, which although similar, the main difference is a short-blind ending bronchus in aplasia 3.
It is usually unilateral, as bilateral pulmonary...
Article
Lung entrapment
Lung entrapment is a type of unexpandable lung and typically refers to lung tissue enclosed by active pleural inflammation or pleural tumor 1. The thickened visceral pleura prevents full expansion of the lung and the diaphragm may be displaced affecting its function; both of these can cause dysp...
Article
Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is an aggressive malignant tumor of mesothelium and 90% of tumors arise from the pleura.
Other locations include 17:
peritoneal mesothelioma (~10%)
pericardial mesothelioma (<1%)
cystic/multicystic mesothelioma
tunica vaginalis testis mesothelioma (<1%)
Epidemiology

Pleural effusion
Pleural effusions are abnormal accumulations of fluid within the pleural space. They may result from a variety of pathological processes which overwhelm the pleura's ability to reabsorb fluid.
Terminology
"Pleural effusion" is commonly used as a catch-all term to describe any abnormal accumula...
Article
Post-pneumonectomy syndrome
Post-pneumonectomy syndrome is delayed complication of pneumonectomy characterized by respiratory compromise caused by severe mediastinal shift and counterclockwise rotation of the heart and great vessels.
Epidemiology
Rare delayed complication of pneumonectomy, which more commonly involves th...
Article
Diaphragmatic rupture
Diaphragmatic rupture or injury often results from blunt abdominal trauma. The mechanism of injury is typically a motor-vehicle collision.
Epidemiology
Given that the most common mechanism is motor vehicle collisions, it is perhaps unsurprising that young men are most frequently affected. The ...

Neonatal chest radiograph in the exam setting
The neonatal chest radiograph in the exam setting may strike fear into the heart of many radiology registrars, but it need not!
There are only a limited number of diagnoses that will be presented on such films and they are often highlighted by the history.
Gestation
First of all, have a look ...
Article
Congenital pulmonary venolobar syndrome
Congenital pulmonary venolobar syndrome is a condition comprising a rare group of cardiac and pulmonary congenital abnormalities occurring variably in combination. The abnormalities include:
anomalous pulmonary venous drainage
particularly scimitar syndrome with hypogenetic right lung
pulmona...
Article
Pleuropulmonary blastoma
Pleuropulmonary blastomas are a rare, variably aggressive, childhood primary intrathoracic malignancy. In up to 25% of cases, the mass can be extrapulmonary with attachment to the parietal pleura. They are classified under sarcomatoid carcinomas of the lungs.
Epidemiology
Pleuropulmonary blas...
Article
Radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis
Radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis is the late manifestation of radiation-induced lung disease and is relatively common following radiation therapy for chest wall or intrathoracic malignancies.
This article does not deal with the changes seen in the acute phase. Please refer to the article on...
Article
Pneumonectomy
Pneumonectomy is a radical lung surgery involving complete surgical removal of the lung. It is most commonly performed for primary lung malignancy. The lung is removed in its entirety providing the patient has adequate pulmonary reserve from the contralateral lung.
Radiographic features
The ty...
Article
Tension gastrothorax
Tension gastrothorax describes a rare life-threatening condition caused by mediastinal shift due to a distended stomach herniating into the thorax through a diaphragmatic defect.
Clinical presentation
Presentation is generally with acute and severe respiratory failure, with clinical features ...
Article
Congenital lobar overinflation
Congenital lobar overinflation (CLO), also known as congenital lobar emphysema or congenital alveolar overdistension is a congenital lung abnormality that describes overdistension of one or more pulmonary lobes.
Epidemiology
Congenital lobar overinflation affects approximately 1: 25,000 live b...
Article
Tension pneumothorax
Tension pneumothoraces occur when progressive accumulation of intrapleural gas causes hemodynamic compromise 10. Urgent placement of a pleural drain can be life-saving and avert cardiorespiratory arrest.
For a general discussion, refer to the pneumothorax article.
