Mimics in chest disease: interstitial opacities
Septal, reticular, nodular, reticulonodular, ground-glass, crazy paving, cystic, ground-glass with reticular, cystic with ground-glass, decreased and mosaic attenuation pattern characterise interstitial lung diseases on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). Occasionally different entities mimic each other, either because they share identical HRCT findings or because of superimposition of ...

متن کاملVitreous opacities in primary amyloid disease
Severe loss of visual acuity due to vitreous opacities may result from haemorrhages, inflammatory and degenerative conditions, tumour cells, or amyloidthe last being rare (Duke-Elder, I969; Jaffe, I969). It is important, however, to recognize amyloid disease as being a cause of vitreous opacities, because most previously reported cases have been patients with familial amyloidosis, a systemic di...
