Gallstone ectopia in the lungs is relatively rare, which accounts for its frequent misdiagnosis. This paper reports a case found in a suspicious lung cancer surgery. The patient received intrahepatic duct stone removal surgery and partial hepatectomy five months prior to the report. He started showing symptoms of cough and hemoptysis without any apparent cause one month before this report. Enha...

A 67-year-old man presented with dyspnoea and non-specific chest pain. A CT scan showed a mass lesion within the right superior pulmonary vein protruding into the left atrium (fig 1A, B). Positron emission tomography with fluoro-2-deoxy-Dglucose showed uptake within the lesion but no extrathoracic disease (fig 1C). A clinical-radiological diagnosis of pulmonary venous angiosarcoma was made and ...

Pulmonary sclerosing hemangiomas (PSH) of the lung are uncommon tumors and may present cytological atypia with unusual manifestations. The development of PSH combined with other different tumors in lung is extremely rare. We report a case of coexistence of PSH and primary adenocarcinoma in a young female occurring in the same pulmonary nodular mass of right lower lobe. The solitary mass of lung...

OBJECTIVE To develop statistical models to predict lung function and respiratory muscle strength from personal and lesion characteristics of individuals with motor complete spinal cord injury. DESIGN Cross-sectional, multi-centre cohort study. SUBJECTS A total of 440 individuals with traumatic, motor complete spinal cord injury, time post-injury ≥ 6 months, lesion level C4-T12, underwent me...

©2018 Turkish League Against Rheumatism. All rights reserved. Immunoglobulin G4-related lung disease (IgG4RLD) is a disease in which IgG4-positive plasma cells and lymphocytes infiltrate lung tissues along with immunohistochemically evident fibrous interstitial proliferation in the background.1,2 Since the first report of a patient with IgG4-RLD in 2004,3 many similar patients have been describ...

An inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT), known as a plasma cell granuloma, is a relatively uncommon neoplasm with an unidentified etiology. To our knowledge, an early relapse with multiple lung nodules following lung resection and occurrences in multiple organs is extremely rare. The patient was a 49-year-old man who presented with left chest pain and fever. A chest film demonstrated an 8x8 cm mass i...

RATIONALE Metastasis to the small intestine from a primary lung cancer is rare, and is associated with a poor prognosis. Early diagnosis of small intestine metastasis is difficult because of the low incidence of clinically apparent symptoms. PATIENT CONCERNS Clinical data and treatment of a 59-year-old man with small intestine metastasis from primary solid subtype lung adenocarcinoma are summ...

We report an unusual clinical presentation of renal leiomyosarcoma. A woman, who received renal transplant from her mother, was diagnosed to have leiomyosarcoma in the donated kidney. The mother was found to have a right upper lobe lung mass 10 years later, which was diagnosed as leiomyosarcoma. It is possible that the mother had primary leiomyosarcoma of the donated kidney with micrometastases...

Hence, distributions of height and (maturational) age for gender differ considerably and adjustments by linear regression cannot alter this: comparisons remain difficult. Secular trends further complicate such analyses.2 3 Because the height-lung function relationship during puberty is complex and varies with age and gender,4 5 it is desirable to study the sexes before and after attaining adult...

Sir—We appreciate Dr Liu's suggestions regarding a number of factors that may account for the relationships we reported between pattern of alcohol intake and body mass index in the Lung Health Study. Some of these hypotheses can be addressed by supplementary analyses and others are beyond the scope of data obtained in the Lung Health Study. First, control for the degree of lung impairment— expr...
