Abstract

EDITORIAL Desirables for the Image of the Month or Case Report David E. Midthun, MD hat are we looking for? The monthly section of the Journal of Thoracic WOncology that is dedicated to an image or case is based on the belief that, although limited, there is clinical and academic value to the report of a single patient’s experience. I suspect we have all been struck by the picture is worth a thousand words effect of an abnormality on physical exam or a radiographic image. Similarly, there is still value as well as intrigue to a unique case report, even if it might not be broadly applicable within an evidence-based approach to patient care. Recognition of a single patient’s experience in clinical medicine may be the first step to a yet unreported frequent occurrence and prospective analysis of a phenomenon. There is merit, enjoyment, and even fun to brief and clear presentation of such images and cases, and these are goals of this section. An appropriate entry for the image of the month is a story that is best told with a picture. It requires visual representation of an abnormality that is readily apparent or that only requires minimal
