Mucoid impaction after segmental resection of lung.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lung segmentectomy is generally considered as a standard procedure in general thoracic surgery. Anatomical variations of pulmonary segmentation may, however, make it difficult to determine the precise area of resection during segmentectomy. Incomplete pulmonary sub-lobar resection may produce unusual radiographic features. Herein, we report a case of bronchial atresia after lung segmentectomy.

Mucoid impaction has a characteristic “finger-inglove” appearance on chest x-ray. The etiology of mucoid impaction can be quickly narrowed by a focused clinical and radiological evaluation. We describe an index patient and...

BACKGROUND Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is an allergic pulmonary disease comprising a complex hypersensitivity reaction to Aspergillus fumigatus. Clinical features of ABPA are wheezing, mucoid impaction, and pulmonary infiltrates. Oral corticosteroids and anti-fungal agents are standard therapy for ABPA, but long-term use of systemic corticosteroids often causes serious side e...

We report, to our knowledge, the first case of mucoid impaction of the bronchi due to a hypersensitivity reaction to the monokaryotic mycelium of Schizophyllum commune. The patient was hospitalized because of mild asthma attacks, persistent cough, peripheral eosinophilia, and "gloved finger" shadows on a chest roentgenogram. Bronchoscopic examination disclosed mucoid impactions that consisted o...
