Retroperitoneal, pleuropulmonary, and endocardial fibroses are relatively uncommon but serious side effects of the prophylactic antimigraine drug methysergide.1 2 Ergotamine is a potent drug in the treatment of the migraine attack, and is chemically related to methysergide. Retroperitoneal fibrosis has been reported in ergotamine users3-' and recently the occurrence of pleuropulmonary fibrosis ...

Background. Pulmonary blastoma is a rare lung tumor similar to fetal lung tissues. Surgical resection at early stage is more curative than other treatments, but there is no standard treatment in unresectable cases. We show a case treated with carboplatin and paclitaxel plus bevacizumab. Case. A 68-year-old man received surgical resection and was diagnosed with biphasic pulmonary blastoma (pT3N0...

we describe a case of pulmonary blastoma, a rare primary lung malignancy which affects a younger population. this tumor contains both mesenchymal and epithelial elements. pulmonary blastoma tends to relapse locally and metastasizes mainly in the first few years. it has a poor 5-year prognosis, and shows a potentid radio-chemosensitivity. because these tumors are considered malignant, surgical e...

Pulmonary blastoma is a rare primary lung neoplasm, in that monophasic variety is far too rare. There are no specific clinical features seen for pulmonary blastoma; computed tomography and histopathology are diagnostic. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice; however, adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy may be required in large and aggressive tumors.

Pleuropulmonary Blastoma (PPB) is the primary neoplastic manifestation of a pediatric cancer predisposition syndrome that is associated with several diseases including cystic nephroma, Wilms tumor, neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, medulloblastoma, and ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor. The primary pathology of PPB, epithelial cysts with stromal hyperplasia and risk for progression to a complex ...

Amebiasis is the third most common parasitic infection worldwide, with around 500 million infections [1] and 100,000 deaths per year [2]. Although asymptomatic in 90% of cases [3], amebiasis may present with intestinal and extraintestinal manifestations. Pleuropulmonary disease is the second most common extraintestinal manifestation after liver abscess. We report herein a case of pleuropulmonar...

A patient with Parkinson's disease, initially treated with bromocriptine and subsequently with cabergoline, developed progressive pleuropulmonary abnormalities during the latter therapy. These lesions even worsened for some weeks after interruption of cabergoline, which may possibly be related to the prolonged action of this drug. Thus cabergoline may cause similar pleuropulmonary abnormalities...
