Primary tracheo-bronchial adenoid cystic carcinoma: A surgical series with literature review

Curative treatment of TBACC is a real challenge. Complex resection is associated with high postoperative morbidity and mortality rates. When complete resection is not achieved, incomplete resection with adjuvant treatments would also provide a promising prognosis.

Unicentric Castleman's Disease of Paraspinal Origin Requiring Differentiation From Schwannoma: Case Report

Unicentric Castleman's Disease of Paraspinal Origin Requiring Differentiation From Schwannoma: Case Report

Unicentric Castleman's disease is often found as an asymptomatic tumour, usually in the chest, specifically the anterior or middle mediastinum. We report a case of unicentric Castleman's disease in the paravertebral region that was diagnosed after surgery. Neurogenic tumours can be difficult to diagnose using imaging alone. When imaging findings are atypical, a definitive diagnosis should be made, with consideration of the possibility of UCD.

Bronchoscopic-Guided Selective Endobronchial Injection of Methylene Blue Solution for Localising Peripheral Bronchopleural Fistulas During Pleural Debridement in a Post-Lobectomy Patient With Bronchopleural Fistula and Empyema

Bronchoscopic-Guided Selective Endobronchial Injection of Methylene Blue Solution for Localising Peripheral Bronchopleural Fistulas During Pleural Debridement in a Post-Lobectomy Patient With Bronchopleural Fistula and Empyema

Diagnosing and localising bronchopleural fistula (BPF)—a pathological passageway between the bronchus and the pleural cavity—can be challenging, and the traditional retrograde methylene blue perfusion method may fail to identify multifocal BPFs. This article reports a novel method for locating multifocal BPFs in patients undergoing concurrent empyema debridement.

A Case of Cavitary Lung Metastasis From Prostate Cancer

To date, only three case reports of cavitary lung metastases from prostate cancer have been published; however, no explanation has been provided for the pathological mechanism of cavitation. We performed a thoracoscopic lung biopsy. This is the first case to provide a potential explanation for cavitation in these lesions.
