A case of postoperative pyopneumothorax following CT-guided radiofrequency ablation for lung cancer with interstitial pneumonia
We report a case of serious complications following computed tomography (CT)-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) performed for the treatment of lung cancer with interstitial pneumonia. The patient developed delayed-onset pyopneumothorax, which required 6 months of antibiotic treatment, drainage, and video-assisted thoracoscopic debridement. Although CT-guided RFA is a promising, effective proc...
متن کاملContralateral pneumothorax after pneumonectomy for carcinoma.
Fortunately, contralateral pneumothorax occurs rarely after pneumonectomy. This complication was detected during the immediate postoperative period in four of 340 patients having pneumonectomy for carcinoma at the Ochsner Clinic from January 1942 through June 1958. To our knowledge delayed pneumothorax has not occurred in any of the remaining patients. This lends support to the impression that ...
متن کاملPulmonary Resection for Metachronous Lung Cancer Following Contralateral Pneumonectomy
Patients who undergo pneumonectomy for lung cancer are at risk of recurrent disease and metachronous tumours in the remaining lung. Establishing a diagnosis can be difficult as biopsy may induce a pneumothorax, whilst resection is limited by remaining lung function. However, pneumonectomy should not be a contraindication to further lung resection. We report two cases of lung cancer resection in...
متن کاملSurgical Resection of Thoracic Esophageal Cancer with Interstitial Lung Disease: A Case Report.
Patients with esophageal cancer often have various comorbidities, and these sometimes limit treatment choices. We describe a patient with stage IA esophageal cancer accompanied by interstitial lung disease (ILD). Endoscopic resection and radiotherapy were not appropriate because of clinically diagnosed submucosal invasion and the patient was at high risk of ILD exacerbation. We therefore select...
متن کاملParaneoplastic syndrome associated with desquamative interstitial pneumonia mimicking lung cancer: A case report
Paraneoplastic syndromes are generally caused by ectopic hormone production or immune-mediated tissue destruction caused by neural antigen expression of cancer cells. Here, we present a rare case of paraneoplastic syndrome associated with interstitial pneumonia mimicking lung cancer. Laboratory findings of the concerning patient revealed liver enzyme abnormalities, and elevated level of cancer ...
