Myelolipoma of the lung: a case report

Myelolipoma (ML) is a rare benign tumor of mesenchymal origin. It is composed of mature adipose tissue and normal hematopoietic elements including mature and immature cells of all three hematopoietic cell lines. The adrenal glandsare by far the most common location of myelolipomas. Pulmonary myelolipoma is very rare; only 6 cases have been reported.[3-7] ML presents great challenges for pre-operative diagnostic evaluation and may be mistaken for a malignant neoplasm. In this present case we describe a case of pulmonary myelolipoma.

肺部脂质肉芽肿1例报道

目的提高临床医生对肺部脂质肉芽肿的认识。方法报道1例误诊为肺癌的肺部脂质肉芽肿患者,结合文献复习,阐述该病的临床表现、诊断及治疗。结果该患者肺部CT提示右下肺肿块,考虑右肺癌,行手术治疗,术后病理提示肺部脂质肉芽肿。结论肺部脂质肉芽肿十分罕见,其临床表现、影像学与肺癌和其他肺部良性肿瘤难以区分,确诊需依赖病理学。

Endometriosis of the lung: report of a case and literature review

This paper reports a case of endometriosis of the lung in a 29-year-old woman with long-term periodic catamenial hemoptysis. A chest computed tomography image obtained during menstruation revealed a radiographic opaque lesion in the lingular segment of the left superior lobe. During bronchoscopy, bleeding in the mucosa of the distal bronchus of the lingular segment of the left superior lobe was observed. Histopathology subsequent to an exploratory thoracotomy confirmed the diagnosis of endometriosis of the left lung. The 2-year follow-up after lingular lobectomy of the left superior lobe showed no recurrence or complications.

Rosai-Dorfman disease of lung: a case report and review of the literatures

Rosai-Dorfman disease （RDD）, also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy （SHML）, is a rare benign entity of unknown etiology. Extranodal SHML （ESHML） may occur as part of a generalized process involving lymph nodes or may involve extranodal sites independent of the lymph node status. Here we report a case with a Rosai-Dorfman disease of the lung and review the literature.     

Mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma of lung: a case report

Mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma is a rare disease particularly when occurring in the lungs. In 1983, Issacson and Wright first described it as a distinct clinicopathological entity. A 39-year-old woman was suffering from mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma of the lung and was treated with moderate dose radiotherapy only. Six months after treatment the woman is symptom free and without any evidence of relapse. The disease undergoes a very indolent course and local form of treatment like surgery or radiotherapy is effective though radiotherapy is probably associated with higher local control rate and event free survival particularly in early stages. But for diagnostic purpose thoracotomy is generally required in pulmonary variety. Due to rarity of cases it is almost impossible to compare surgery with radiotherapy in mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma disorder in a prospective manner. Radiotherapy is the preferred mode of treatment either alone or in combination with surgery.     

早期肺癌合并肺栓塞一例

1 病例摘要 患者男,77岁,退休干部.2008年6月,患者体检肺部CT显示:左肺下叶有一直径约1.3cm的圆形结节灶,无不适症状及体征.当时医生根据患者肺部结节的部位及大小,认为不宜行纤维支气管镜及肺穿刺活检明确病理诊断,可采用CT定期复查.     

Covert lung abscess as a cause of atrial arrhythmia: case report

Atrial arrhythmia is common in clinic. Recently, it, was revealed that ectopic impulses originating in sleeve muscles around the orifices of pulmonary veins (PVs) were deemed to be one of the most important reasons that trigger or drive atrial arrhythmia, which was called myocardial sleeve related arrhythmia. Electrical isolation by radiofrequency ablation is becoming highlight and proved to be an effective method for the arrhythmia.     

Rapid-growth lung cancer associated with a pulmonary giant bulla: a case report

A giant bulla of the lung is suggested as a risk factor for lung cancer. Here we report a case with lung cancer in a giant bulla, which showed rapid progression. A 57-year-old man, who had a history of heavy smoking, was admitted to our hospital due to hemoptysis. A chest X-ray revealed a giant bulla with a ground glass shadow and a high fluid level in the right upper lung. Sputum cytology was negative for malignant cells. A chest X-ray a month later showed increases of the size of the radio-opaque shadow and of the air-fluid retention, suggesting pulmonary hemorrhage from the giant bulla. Limited resection or lobectomy was indicated, but pneumonectomy was performed due to the severe air-leak. Macroscopically, a multiple nodular tumor arose from the bulla wall, which might be related to blood flow and necrotic tissue. The postoperative pathological diagnosis was papillary adenocarcinoma. Unfortunately, the patient developed a recurrence of carcinoma in the pleuroperitoneal cavity and died at 2.5 months after the operation. Based on this report and review of other cases in the literature, we should keep in mind the rapid progression of lung cancer in association with an emphysematous bulla.

Pigeon-breeding in Singapore, as contrasted to bird-fancying in general, is usually on the scale of small holdings. This report of a case of pigeon-breeder's lung is made so that, among occupations in highly urbanized Singapore, those in the agronomics sector should not be forgotten.     

Desmoplastic small round cell tumor of the lung: case report

Desmoplastic small round cell tumor(DSRCT)is a clinically and morphologically well-defined neoplasm.1 This highly aggressive malignant small cell neoplasm tends to affect adolescents and young adults and occurs predominantly in the abdomen,pelvis,and omentum.1,2 DSRCT in the lung is extremely rare.     

Cystic changes in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma of lung: a case report

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue （MALT） is a term .that describes lymphoid tissue in various sites of the body, such as the gastrointestinal tract, thyroid, breast, lung, salivary glands, eye, and skin. MALT lymphoma of the lung is a subset of primary pulmonary lymphomas which originates from the MALT. Previously reported computed tomographic （CT） features of MALT lymphoma are the presence of consolidation or nodules in the lungs. To our knowledge, however, there have been rare reports of MALT lymphoma of the lung which are manifested on CT as multifocal cystic structures. The purpose of this report is to present a case of MALT lymphoma which, on high resolution CT （HRCT） scan, manifested as bilateral multifocal cystic structures, and to correlate these findings with the histological findings.
