Humans with wings or other things?
I need to put together a beginning-to-end case study on a pathology for a radiology class. I’m looking for ideas on what pathology to use. Mesothelioma would be an example of an overused topic. I’d like to do something rare and a bit bizarre,something visually captivating. Like a human who’s grown wings,for example. Any suggestions?
Black Hairy Tongue Syndrome certainly is odd enough to suit me. But I don’t think x-rays would be involved. The webbed fingers and toes is closer,but still not exactly what I’m looking for. Polydactylism (extra fingers or toes) would be perfect,but I’m pretty sure a couple of my classmates are doing that one. Keep suggestions coming though! Thanks!!
Try Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome. It is a syndrome in which extra tarsal bones are found. See this abstract:

You could also use Apert syndrome,which can be diagnosed through fetal ultrasound…see link:

Hope this helps!
