Abstract:
:Epipericardial fat necrosis is an unusual clinical condition of unknown etiology first reported in the literature in 1957. It presents as an acute onset of chest pain and a well-defined juxtacardiac mass. Computed tomographic findings of this condition demonstrate a fat-attenuation mass that resolves over time. We present a case of a 48-year-old man who presented with epipericardial fat necrosis followed over time with serial computed tomographic scans documenting resolution.

杂志文章,评审abstract::We studied the chest radiographs of 30 patients (39 thoracotomies) after resection of pulmonary nodules with a neodymium-YAG laser. New "nodules" were often visible in the resected areas. These gradually evolved into linear scars with or without a small, nodular component or disappeared. In 11 of 39 thoracotomies, pos...
