🔍 Location, location, location! 🔍
Just like in real estate, in radiology, location is everything. 🏠🖥️
Recognizing where's a lesion can be key to narrowing down the list of differential diagnoses 📍📉

Interesting study: Dilated #IVC in Young Adults With Vasovagal Syncope.
#POCUS#FOAMed#FOAMcc#Nephpearls
The mean IVC diameter and IVC diameter indexed for body surface area were significantly larger in subjects with vasovagal syncope than in the controls (24.6 vs 21.3 mm and 14.4 vs 12.6 mm/m2, respectively [P < .001]).
*[but in general, note that IVC size is bigger in young adults]

PHYSICAL FINDINGS IN DVT
I recently posted a poll asking what disease/condition was associated with a series of eponymic physical signs.
75% responded correctly that it was DVT.
None of these signs is sufficiently sensitive or specific to be useful in clinical practice.
Case of Desmoid-Type Fibromatosis of Breast 🔬
Desmoid-type fibromatosis is a rare, locally aggressive, infiltrative fibroblastic and myofibroblastic spindled cell neoplasm that commonly harbors CTNNB1 or APC mutations.

Cytologic details are often enhanced when exfoliated malignant cells are seen in CSFs (compared to serous effusions). This patient had a known history of "Plasma Cell Myeloma". (Cytopsin)
