Pericardial effusion (final dx is pericarditis with secondary diagnoses of lupus, pneumonia and sepsis)
22-year-old male arrived at the Emergency Department around midnight, complaining of chest pain and shortness of breath.

The patient's malaise and fatigue had continued, however. He presented the second time in severe distress. He had no nausea, vomiting or fever, but in addition to the chest pain and dyspnea, he had a rash on his extremities.

Hydrocele
A 31 y/o sexually active male with no previous medical history presents to the ED with testicular pain. POC US demonstrates a septated __________.
The ultrasound image demonstrates a simple cyst located in the cortex of the kidney. The cyst can be described as anechoic, homogenous, with thin and smooth walls, and would be a type I lesion according to the Bosniak classification system (image below). There is no evidence to suggest obstructing hydronephrosis. The Bosniak classification for renal cysts was developed in the 1980s as an attempt to standardize the description and management of complex renal lesions. Based on classification of the renal lesion, the likelihood of malignancy can also be predicted. While the Bosniak classification was initially described and validated with CT imaging, newer data suggests that ultrasound may be sufficient to follow renal cysts that are minimally complex (Bosniak I & II).

Tuboovarian abscess (TOA)
Angela is a 33-year-old woman that returned to our emergency department with back pain radiating from her left flank to her left anterior thigh. On her first visit there were no significant findings on her physical examination. She had normal vital signs and was afebrile. A urinalysis and urine pregnancy test were negative, and she was sent home with a non-steriodal pain medication and told to follow up with her primary care physician. She returned ten days later complaining of the same pain without any relief. She had a hard time moving around and getting up to walk made it worse. VITAL SIGNS HR = 74, BP = 125/73, RR = 14, T = 98.0 STUDIES AND EXAM A urine pregnancy test and urinalysis done in triage were normal. Her physical exam was remarkable for no tenderness in her flank. There was some very mild tenderness on the anterior aspect of her left thigh, but no swelling or mass. She had good femoral, popliteal, and dorsal pedal pulses in this extremity. There was no other abnormality of the left leg. Her cardiovascular and pulmonary exams were normal. Her abdomen was slightly tender in the left lower quadrant with no peritoneal signs. We thought her pain is related to either radicular nerve pain from vertebral disc disease or vascular disease such as a DVT. However, we decide to perform a pelvic exam and transvaginal ultrasound just to be sure we are not missing something. THE PELVIC Her speculum exam was remarkable for cervical discharge. During the transvaginal ultrasound examination she complained of a lot of tenderness. What is the Likely dx?
