On  further thought, I can not figure out why doctors of the patient could not have diagnosed earlier. I add the following to the posting:

AVM in a lung looks like a mass in plain chest-X-ray and CT scan without contrast medium. See Figure 1 (a) and (b), respectively, in

Note:
(a) "I walked through JuneBaby's Dutch doors * * * Fried catfish over grits * * * The grits are fluffy, yellow, full of corn flavor. Ringing the grits is an orange circle of shrimp bisque."
(i) Compare
Dutch door
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_door

with French door (n): "a door with rectangular glass panes extending the full length"

(ii) grits ("noun, plural in form but singular or plural in construction")
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/grits
(iii)  The bisque is pronounced \bisk\.
(A) The en.wikipedia.org, which carries no photo, has a page for "bisque (food)" which says it is "a smooth, creamy * * * soup of French origin * * * of crustaceans. It can be made from lobster, langoustine, crab, shrimp or crayfish."
(B) Search images.google.com for what it looks like.

(b) "I paid closer attention when I noticed which parts of the pig he's [chef's] cooking. He will boil ham hocks with collard greens * * * He stews pigs' ears until they surrender their ornery stiffness, then slices and fries them into irresistible, crunchy sticks. He seasons okra and tomatoes with a North African spice mix and stews them with hog maw, otherwise known as the outer wall of the stomach. * * * By the way, he cooks chitterlings, too.  These are the cuts that enslaved black people on plantations were allowed to keep when hogs were killed; after Emancipation, these were the cuts they might have had the money to afford and the skills to make into something memorable. * * * Of course, much of the huge edifice of Southern food was built by black farmers and black cooks: as enslaved people in plantation kitchens and in their own families' cabins; later, as domestic servants, hotel chefs, railroad cooks, restaurateurs and entrepreneurs."
(i) ham hock
(A) Firstly, human anatomy. A human thigh (femur in it), knee, calf (tibia and fibula), ankle (7 tarsal bones, the largest of which underlines heel), metatarsal bones (there are five), each of which connects a toe.
tarsus (skeleton)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarsus_(skeleton)
(B) meta- (prefix; from Greek meta with, across, or after): "denoting position * * * beyond"
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/meta-
(C) In humans, metatarsal bones, part of the sole, are on the ground. Not terrestrial quadrupeds (including but not limited to pig, horse, dog and cat) , whose hock (equivalent to a human ankle) is the joint where tibia (as well as fibula) meets (7) tarsal bones. See Canine Anatomy, Veterian Key, undated.

(iii)
(A) hog maw
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hog_maw
("is the exterior muscular wall of the stomach organ (with interior, lining mucosa removed)"/ section 1.3 Chinese cuisine: 猪肚)
(B) I search the Web and fail to find a reason to remove the lining. In fact, Some people eat pig stomach with lining on. See How To Clean Pig’s Maw / Stomach. Delicious Asian Food, Oct 26, 2007
www.deliciousasianfood.com/2007/ ... n-pigs-maw-stomach/
("Repeat the process until you have rubbed out all the impurities on the lining. Then, turn the pig's maw inside out and repeat the process. Rinse with water after you have done.  Next, heat up a wok and sear the pig’s maw on the outer side")

The home page of this web site stated, "This site is authored by PabloPabla, a Malaysian chinese of Hokkien dialect"
(C) Compare
tripe (n): "stomach tissue especially of a ruminant (such as an ox) used as food"
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tripe
, which is (smooth muscle also) wall.

How to Cook Beef Tripe. WikiHow, undated

(Part I Cleaning and Preparing Tripe: "After soaking, scrape the interior of the tripe with a knife to remove the inner membrane. Stomach lining is a complex tissue - parts of it are good to eat, but other parts aren't. The interior membrane should be removed if it hasn't")

(c) "JuneBaby's oxtails are a tribute to one of her mainstays. Mr Jordan deepens the flavor of the beef by roasting it before braising. * * * The chitterlings are essentially his paternal grandmother's recipe, stewed with onions, carrots and garlic.  As variety meats go, intestines are not at the top of my list. Out of strong curiosity, I’ve eaten them packed into andouillettes in France, fried and kept under heat lamps in a gas station in Mississippi, and grilled over charcoal in the backyard of a Korean restaurant in Queens. I liked them best at JuneBaby."
