Primary Pulmonary Plasmacytoma Presenting as Multiple Lung Nodules
To the Editor, Extramedullary plasmacytoma is a plasma cell tumor arising outside the bone marrow and usually occurs as a solitary tumor in the upper respiratory tract, such as the pharynx, paranasal sinuses, nasal cavity, or oral cavity [1]. Other cases develop in the lymph nodes, skin, gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, and other regions. Primary pulmonary plasmacytomas are very rar...
متن کاملPulmonary Actinomycosis Mimicking Lung Cancer

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.

Life-threatening manifestations at presentation are rarely reported and should be an important clinical concern. We report a case of a 63-year-old man presenting with rapid-onset refractory severe thrombocytopenia, development of massive hemoptysis, and death from res...
متن کاملSmall cell lung cancer presenting as a solitary pulmonary nodule.
BACKGROUND Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) occasionally presents as an asymptomatic solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) on chest radiography. This group of SCLC patients appears to have different tumor growth properties and greater potential for cure than most SCLC patients. Some investigators have hypothesized that SCLC presenting as a SPN represents a biologically unique subset of SCLC. OBJECTIVE...

A 62-year-old man presented with a 6-week history of shortness of breath, weight loss and painful swelling of the great toe. Examination elicited an ulcerated swelling of the right great toe, thought to be an ingrowing toenail. Chest 'crackles' and an enlarged supraclavicular lymph node were detected.
