Simultaneous pulmonary metastases from different primary tumors to the same lobe are extremely rare, and we herein report the case. Surgical specimen of the pulmonary metastasis from colon cancer contained two additional nodules that were confirmed as metastases from prostate cancer. Pulmonary metastasis from prostate cancer rarely forms nodules, and there is a discrepancy in the incidence of p...

BACKGROUND There are a number of different manifestations of pulmonary aspergillosis. This study aims to review the radiology, presentation, and histological features of lung nodules caused by Aspergillus spp. METHODS Patients were identified from a cohort attending our specialist Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis clinic. Patients with cavitating lung lesions, with or without fibrosis and those...

Abstract Background Pulmonary nodule detection in CXR is challenging. Recently, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) has been a major attraction. The current study aimed to evaluate diagnostic performance AI pulmonary nodules or masses on compared radiologist’s interpretation and assess its impact reporting process. included 150 patients who had interpreted by radiologists software. Results ...

A 68 year old woman was submitted to a mediastinal lymphangioleiomyoma resection found in a follow-up study of lower left lung resection due to bronchiectasis complicated by chylothorax. This led to a revaluation of the pulmonary specimen that revealed, in addition to inflammatory bronchiectasis, small spindle cell nodules in the lung parenchyma, similar to minute pulmonary meningothelial-like ...

Co-existence of catamenial pneumothorax and hemoptysis is rare. We present a case of catamenial pneumothorax due to bilateral pulmonary endometriosis in a 45-year-old woman. The patient presented with a 3-year history of intermittent productive cough with blood-tinged sputum, chronic anemia, loss of appetite, and general weakness associated with menstruation. Three years prior to this presenta...

OBJECTIVE We examined the possibility of intraoperative ultrasonography during video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) to localize and make a qualitative diagnosis of small peripheral pulmonary nodules. METHODS Ultrasonography during VATS and conventional thoractomy was performed on 25 and 18 nodules, respectively, all which were localized in the peripheral lung, were less than 30 mm in diamet...
