. Radio-diagnosis of pleuro-pulmonary affection . hadow, withcontours well limited, while the rest of the lung was perfectlyclear with nothing abnormal at the apex. Lung abscess wasthought of and surgical intervention advised. The surgeontwo days later found a purulent intrapulmonary collection,emptied and drained it, and the patient had a perfect re-covery. Early cancer of the lung is at times difficult to patients become thin and cachectic, cough and havefrequent hemoptysis. Examination of the thorax showsstethoscopic signs locaHzed at the apex, for early cancer ofthe lung usually affects the upper lobe. This disease alsooften assumes the appearance of tuberculosis. The radio-scope is one of the means at the clinicians disposal to correcthis diagnosis. Examination on the screen shows the abnor-mal shadow more homogeneous, more limited, less diffusethan that of tuberculosis. In the tuberculous with a shadowat the apex there follows a series of uneven mottlings whichinfiltrate in a diffuse manner the pulmonary parenchyma. Radiograph 34. CHRONIC SIMPLE BILATERAL TUBERCULOSIS-DISINTEGRATION AND CAVITY LESIONSThe two pulmonary fields are studded with diffuse shadows—a mottled appear-ance. A somewhat clear zone at the right apex—the supra and sub-clavicularregion (cavity). Autopsy.—Diffuse pulmonary tuberculosis of the suppurativebroncho-pneumonic form. The right lung shows a large cavity which occupies theentire upper lobe. Disintegrating and cavities in the middle lobe; infiltration ofthe lower lobe. Diffuse sclerosis. The left lung shows disintegration and manysmall cavities in the upper lobe; infiltration of the lower lobe.
