Demonstration of pleural tube track tubularity.

The inflammatory reaction that is caused by the placement of a tube in the pleural space persists after tube removal and may be observed on chest roentgenograms. One radiological presentation of this reaction is a lucent stripe, which represents localized iatrogenic pneumothorax in the track of the tube. The possibility that this stripe may represent a tubular track is not generally appreciated. We report two instances in which the three-dimensional tubular nature of the tracks is demonstrated. Failure to correlate such a stripe with roentgenograms showing the previous placement of the chest tube at the site of a track may lead to confusion and potentially serious misinterpretation.

Dilated pulmonary venous confluence presenting as a mass in mitral stenosis.

Pulmonary varices are rare venous anomalies which typically present as masses. Since they are usually clinically insignificant, varices must be diagnostically distinguished from parenchymal tumors and mediastinal adenopathy so one may adhere to a conservative medical approach. This report reviews the literature and illustrates a convergence of varices that presented as a larger sized mass than previously described by others.
