Abstract:
A 37-year-old male patient presented complaining of right flank pain. As an incidental finding on CT, the spleen was not visualized and there were multiple rounded peritoneal tissue nodules, radiologically pattern is mostly suggestive of splenosis. Lung bases showed 2 right lower lung lobe nodules. A dedicated chest CT scan revealed few other pulmonary and pleural nodules. A 99mTc heat damaged denatured red blood cells SPECT CT scan was performed, which revealed right thoracic splenosis, a rare entity to be seen at that location.

Pneumothorax-II
Clinical Manifestations:
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...
Veins of Thorax
The azygos vein, positioned just right of the midline and anterior to the vertebral column, begins at the junction of the right ascending lumbar and subcostal veins, terminating in the superior vena cava. This vein drains blood from the right side of the thoracic wall, thoracic viscera, and posterior abdominal wall.

Pneumothorax can be even further classified as spontaneous, traumatic, and tension pneumothorax.
