A mass found by accident on a scan done for something else

Congestive heart failure.

Cerebrovascular accident; a stroke.

Ordering every test under the sun and hoping one of them lands.

Myocardial infarction; a heart attack.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

A confused elderly woman clutching her handbag in the hospital bed — a soft sign of dementia.

Funny Looking Kid — paediatric shorthand for a child whose features hint at an undiagnosed syndrome.

'God Only Knows' — undiagnosable case

A rare diagnosis when the common one is far more likely.
