Abstract:
A 65-year-old female presented for abnormal CT for lung cancer screening showing bilateral lung nodules. The left nodule was confirmed as a left-sided hernia through esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), but a CT-guided biopsy of the right-sided 2.3 cm nodule showed benign liver parenchyma. She underwent a liver/spleen scan confirming hepatic tissue in the right lower lobe which was contiguous with the liver. While hiatal hernias are common, a non-traumatic diaphragmatic hepatic hernia into the lung is a rare clinical case that warrants discussion about diagnosis, causes and interventions.

Flail Chest-I
Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of flail chest is complex, involving fractures of...
