Tutorial
Charlotte Bouchard is a 31 year old female who has presented to the ER with new onset shortness of breath. She is previously healthy with no history of medical problems and is not on any medications. She tells you her chest pain and shortness of breath started roughly six weeks prior and have gotten worse to the point she can barely take a few steps without having to stop. She’s also lost about 15 lbs in this time and has noted night sweats such that she has had to change her pajamas during the night. On exam, her pulse is 105, BP 115/87, SpO2 97% on R/A, Temp 37.2. She is not visibly distressed. Respiratory exam reveals decreased air entry on the left and you are able to palpate lymph nodes along her bilateral cervical chains and supraclavicular regions. You also appreciate enlarged lymph nodes in her bilateral axillae and inguinal regions. Her spleen is palpable 5 cm below the costal margin. Chest x-ray performed in the ER reveals a left-sided pleural effusion and is suspicious for a mediastinal mass. You order a follow up CT and this confirms a 15.3 cm mediastinal mass as well as diffuse hilar and axillary adenopathy.
