Case Discussion
This represents a case of a normal lateral chest radiograph—the patient in question presented for an annual check-up at his general practitioner. A Mantoux skin test was performed, which was noted to be positive. A chest x-ray was subsequently performed at the emergency department, which showed no abnormality.
