Pulmonary artery aneurysm presenting as a lung mass.
We describe a case of pulmonary artery aneurysm in which clinical clues and conventional imaging suggested a lung tumor, and the actual nature of the lesion was discovered at the time of thoracotomy. This case shows the importance of an awareness of this condition in the formulation of a differential diagnosis for a lung mass.
متن کاملPulmonary Actinomycosis Mimicking Lung Cancer
Herein, we reported on a case of solid type of pulmonary actinomycosis in a 10-year-old boy. He had productive cough for 40 days. Bronchoscopy was normal. Cmputed tomography revealed a solid large mass in the upper lobe of his left lung with mimicking malignant leisions. He was referred for surgery and underwent left upper lobectomy.

متن کاملGiant coronary artery aneurysm mimicking a paracardiac mass.
Although either coronary artery aneurysm or coronary arterio-venous fistula may be found infrequently during coronary angiography, it is very rare to see combination of both structures. Here we present a case of coronary artery fistula combined with a large aneurysm. The aneurysm resembled a mass just beside the left heart border in the chest X-ray (CXR) film. The patient came to our hospital f...
متن کاملA huge aortic arch aneurysm mimicking massive pulmonary artery embolism.
An 85-year-old man, who had previously undergone coronary bypass surgery, was subjected to a computed tomography (CT) scan because of an echocardiographic suspect of massive pulmonary embolism. A huge aortic arch aneurysm compressed the pulmonary arteries (Fig. 1). Sudden cardio-respiratory failure required mechanical ventilation. At this stage, surgeons considered him inoperable for high risk....
متن کاملPulmonary artery sarcoma mimicking a pulmonary embolism.
Sarcomas involving the lung are a rare occurrence, often a result of metastatic disease from primary malignancies involving the skin, liver, breast or heart. Primary pulmonary artery sarcomas are rarer still, with limited cases reported world-wide and consequently data regarding treatment modalities are sparse and largely experimental. These tumors are often mistaken for a pulmonary embolism an...
