case_images: Her chest X-rays showed no abnormalities, but the chest computed tomography (CT) scan showed a tumor or thrombus over the right pulmonary vein and entering the left atrium (Fig. 1a). The pelvis X-ray showed bilateral AVN of the femoral heads (Fig. 1b). The CT scan showed osteonecrosis of the right femoral head after bipolar surgery had been performed on the left femoral head (Fig. 1c).
case_images: Shoulder lesions of case 1. The plain X-ray revealed osteonecrosis of the right humeral head (arrow) (a) and the left humeral head (arrow) (b). c The chest CT scan (coronary view) showed bilateral osteonecrosis of the humeral heads (arrows), which was more severe on the left side.
