This text contains 100 real-life cases of patients. Each patient's complaint is described, followed by physical diagnosis and laboratory findings, after which a diagnosis is arrived at, followed by a discussion on the basis for such diagnosis. Sharp chest x-rays accompany these cases. By studying the complaint, the x-ray, the physical diagnosis and laboratory findings, the reader can make his/her own diagnosis before turning the page and finding out what the experts conclude.

185 case summaries are presented randomly to challenge the reader. The first page of each case features a brief clinical summary, usually accompanied by an illustration. The reader is encouraged to formulate a differential diagnosis, diagnostic approach, and therapeutic plan. On the following page(s), the diagnosis is presented and discussed, with emphasis on unifying basic principles, interesting aspects of the patient's course, treatment, and outcome. Finally, information important to the correct management of the case―"clinical pearls"―is highlighted at the end. A few key references also are supplied for each case.
