funniest "wtf" practice exam image.

I remember that question about the, well, I won't say I was just as shocked as you were when I first saw the image as well. You can figure out the question just by the vignette, otherwise, I think it would have been impossible (I suck at anatomy).

 

Here's one:

 

Haha, what a great distractor...I hope that was a joke. On another note, what is the answer to that one?

 

The answer is Thyroid carcinoma because of the viscerosomatic changes at
T1-T4. It's from a COMLEX question Qbank from a very popular test prep company.

hey that ovarian one reminded me of a question I've been trying to figure out, How do men get testicular choriocarcinoma's? I thought choriocarcinoma was a strict placental derived tumor?

 

There are actually non-gestational choriocarcinomas, which include testicular and ovarian variants. They are considered as germ-cell tumors.

Germ cells that are prsent in ovaries and testes are the very primitive cells which can differentiate into any tissue. Other known variants of ovarian and testicular Germ-cell tumors include: Yolk-sac, Teratoma and Dysgerminoma/Seminoma. Hope this helps.

 

Looks like it could be some fat herniation into the maxillay sinus....can't tell if the orbital floor is fractured or not (i'm not a radiologist, only a med student)

 

I had this question and got a chuckle:

A patent presents in respiratory distress after having received a "bad dose" of illicit drugs. He has a history of amphetamine, heroin, crack, marijuana and alcohol abuse. He admits to multiple sexual partners including unprotected anal receptive sex. He acknowledges being sick in the past but has used herbal remedies as treatment because he distrusts doctors. He is a lawyer.

Assuming his problem is indeed related to contaminated drugs, which of the following findings is most likely?​

I typed it out from memory, but you get the jist. Sadly, fulminant litigiousitis was not amongst the answer choices.
