TL;DR: A case ofParaffinoma of the lung in an otherwise healthy man who for years combined a nightly dose of liquid paraffin with barbiturates is described, and screening the patient while he swallows lipiodol may point to a diagnosis before the chest is opened.
Abstract: Summary A case of paraffinoma of the lung in an otherwise healthy man who for years combined a nightly dose of liquid paraffin with barbiturates is described. If clinically or radiologically paraffinoma is suspected, screening the patient while he swallows lipiodol may point to a diagnosis before the chest is opened. I would like to thank Dr. Whitwell for stimulating my interest in the case, Mr. Edwards for allowing me to see and follow-up the case, and Dr. Rubin and Mr. Wall for all their help in the radiological part of the investigation.
