Small 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...
متن کاملGastric and pulmonary lymphoma presenting as a solitary pulmonary nodule
The common presentations of lymphoma are widespread lymphadenopathy or development of constitutional symptoms. This paper presents a case of a patient who presented with a solitary mass detected on chest X-ray and underwent FDG-PET for further evaluation of this mass. FDG-PET is a commonly utilised technique to assess solitary nodules as it not only allows characterisation of the lesion but can...
متن کاملPeripheral pulmonary artery aneurysm presenting as a solitary pulmonary nodule
We report the case of a 63-year-old female patient who was evaluated due to a solitary pulmonary nodule. The final diagnosis was a solitary peripheral pulmonary artery saccular aneurysm. The patient was submitted to a pulmonary lobectomy with excellent recovery. Peripheral pulmonary artery aneurysms that arise from segmental or intrapulmonary branches are extremely rare, and their management is...
متن کاملA solitary pulmonary ground-glass nodule in adult systemic langerhans' cell histiocytosis.
During a thoracic computed tomography (CT) scan, a 36-year-old male was diagnosed with a solitary oval pulmonary mixed ground-glass nodule in the right upper lobe of the lung. The edge of the nodule was well-defined, and its largest axial size was approximately 1.1 × 0.9 cm(2). This nodule was slightly lobulated, but not obviously speculated. Solid components, micro-cystic lucency shadow, small...
متن کاملPulmonary langerhans cell histiocytosis
Pulmonary Langerhans' cell histiocytosis (PLCH) remains an important diagnostic consideration in the differential diagnosis of diffuse infiltrative lung disease, particular among smokers. This review highlights recent progress in our understanding of the etiology, clinical presentation, and diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to this unusual lung disorder. Evolving studies strongly link the b...
