Pulmonary contusion after bumper car collision: Case report and review of the literature.

ABSTRACT: Thoracic trauma is a major source of morbi-mortality in injured children. Their pliable chest wall makes pulmonary contusion the most common chest injury. It is most often secondary to blunt trauma caused by traffic accidents. We report a case of severe chest trauma caused by a bumper car collision in an 8-years old girl. She sustained right lung contusion that led to complete atelectasis. After a week of supportive therapy, bronchoscopy removed a mucous plug from the main bronchus, resulting in significant clinical improvement. We aim to raise awareness of the risk of severe chest injuries during bumper car collisions.

Primary Pulmonary Chondrosarcoma: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:Chondrosarcomas are tumors consisting of osseous or cartilaginous stroma. They are not an uncommon pathology; however, primary pulmonary chondrosarcomas arising in lung parenchyma are extremely rare, with few cases published in literature. Herein, we present a case with biopsy-proven primary pulmonary chondrosarcoma after exclusion of primary origin elsewhere. In the case presented in this report, we demonstrate the clinical presentations, pulmonary function tests, and the radiological findings of this rare tumor in a young male patient. Further, we present a brief review of existing literature for patients with similar pathology.

Case Report and Literature Review: Primary Pulmonary NUT-Midline Carcinoma.

Project description:Nuclear protein of the testis (NUT) carcinoma is a very rare and aggressive carcinoma characterized by chromosomal rearrangement. NUT-midline carcinoma (NMC) can occur anywhere in the body, but most of the tumors are found in the midline anatomic structure or mediastinum. Pulmonary-originated NMC is extremely rare and often difficult to be distinguished from other poorly differentiated tumors, making the diagnosis awfully challenged in clinical practice. There are less than 100 cases of NUT carcinoma reported so far. In this study, the diagnosis and molecular mechanisms of reported NUT carcinoma cases were reviewed. Furthermore, a case of primary pulmonary NUT-midline carcinoma and its pathological features was reported. The process of pathological identification and genomic analysis for establishing the diagnosis was discussed. We found that NUT carcinoma could be identified by combining CT, H&E staining, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and molecular tests. The development of NUT carcinoma might be associated with mutation of MYC, p63, and MED24 genes and the Wnt, MAPK, and PI3K signaling pathways. Our study provided a detailed molecular mechanistic review on NMC and established a procedure to identify pulmonary NMC.

Pulmonary Artery Pseudoaneurysm due to Mucormycosis: Case Report and Literature Review

Project description:Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm (PAP) is a rare vascular phenomenon with a high mortality rate, as these entities can enlarge, rupture, and lead to asphyxiation. Pulmonary mucormycosis (PM), an underdiagnosed but an increasingly seen entity in the era of chemotherapy and immunosuppression, is a known cause of PAP, and should be suspected in immunosuppressed patients with hemoptysis. We present a case of PAP due to PM in a patient with recently diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the liver who underwent chemotherapy and developed acute cavitary lung disease and hemoptysis. His diagnosis was delayed due to the withholding of iodinated contrast with computer tomography (CT) imaging in the setting of renal failure. He then underwent embolization of his PAP with resolution of his hemoptysis. PAP is an uncommon cause of hemoptysis that can be diagnosed with CT pulmonary angiography, and mucormycosis is a known but rare cause of PAP in patients with malignancy receiving immunosuppression.

Takotsubo syndrome with pulmonary embolism: a case report and literature review.

Project description:BackgroundTakotsubo syndrome (TTS) is an acute cardiac condition with reversible heart failure which is often triggered by psychological and physical stressful events. Although pulmonary embolism (PE) was reported as a trigger for TTS, the concurrence of TTS and PE has been rarely reported, let alone that triggered by PE. Here we describe a case of a postmenopausal female presenting with symptoms similar to myocardial ischemia, which may be caused by PE, and review the available literature that may help clinicians with their practice to similar situations since no published guidelines are available.Case presentationAn 86-year-old female was referred to the emergency department for unrelieved chest tightness, shortness of breath and back pain. Cardiac biomarkers were mildly elevated and electrocardiogram displayed pathologic Q-waves, ST-segment elevation and inverted T-waves. Unexpectedly, coronary angiography was in absence of obstructed coronary atherosclerosis or acute plaque rupture. Chest computed tomography illustrated multiple pulmonary emboli in bilateral pulmonary arteries. She had suffered from long-term right lower extremity pain and experienced a long railway journey with less activity. Both echocardiogram and cardiac magnetic resonance demonstrated regional hypokinesia of left ventricle. She received anticoagulant and diuretic therapies, three-month follow up after discharge revealed uneventful recovery without any pulmonary emboli or regional motion abnormalities, thus she was retrospectively diagnosed with TTS caused by PE.ConclusionTTS and PE are scarcely concurrent and PE can exert as a potential trigger for TTS. TTS is easily misdiagnosed, actively seeking possible risk factors of TTS is in favor of early diagnosis and timely intervention. TTS with PE is reversible, timely and effective treatments ensure the best possible outcome.

Severe pulmonary tuberculosis complicated with insidious pulmonary thromboembolism: a case report and literature review.

Project description:Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is an acute and severe disease with high mortality, which is prone to be misdiagnosed or ignored especially when complicated with tuberculosis (TB). Even though TB has been considered as a risk factor for PTE, there is rare report of TB with PTE worldwide. Which TB patients are more susceptible to PTE is still not clear. Here, we described a case report of PTE with pulmonary TB in a 28-year-old man, who had no risk factors for pulmonary thrombosis at admission and developed a medium-high PTE after initiating anti-TB therapy. After local thrombolysis with interventional therapy and sequential intravenous thrombolysis, combined with long-term anticoagulation, the PTE of the patient disappeared. At follow-up of 4?months, the patient was re-examined with chest enhanced CT and no obvious emboli was found. We emphasize that acute or severe TB infection should be included in the thromboembolism risk assessment and prophylactic use of anticoagulants may be considered even if there are no other obvious risk factors. Interventional therapy is a good option for thrombolysis treatment if hospital condition permits.

Spinal intramedullary tuberculoma following pulmonary tuberculosis: A case report and literature review.

Project description:RationaleSpinal intramedullary tuberculoma (IMTB) is a rare disease that accounts for 1 to 2/100,000 patients with tuberculosis. We presented a case with pulmonary tuberculosis and concurrent IMTB at C3 to C5 level and reviewed the recent case series and discussed the diagnosis, treatment, and outcome.Patient concernsA 33-year-old male had concurrent pulmonary TB and IMTB at the C3 to C5 level. He had quadriplegia (muscle power 0 at 4 limbs) and sensory loss below C5 level. He also had incontinence, anal tone loss, and paradoxical respiratory pattern.DiagnosisSpinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a 25 11mm intramedullary lesion at C3/C4 level. Under the impression of IMTB, he underwent surgery.InterventionWe performed C3 to C5 laminectomy and en bloc removal of the tumor. The patient kept receiving anti-TB medications after the surgery.OutcomeHis 4 limbs muscle power had improved but could not be liberated from the endotracheal tube, so tracheostomy was performed. Muscle power gradually increased to 3 points in his upper limbs and to 2 points in his lower limbs. Sensation in his 4 limbs gradually improved as well.LessonsIMTB is a rare disease that should be treated with a combination of medication and surgery. For patients with prominent spinal cord compression and neurological symptoms, early operation to remove the tumor is necessary.

Pulmonary papillary adenoma with malignant potential: a case report and literature review.

Project description:BackgroundPulmonary papillary adenoma is a rare benign tumor in the periphery of the lung. We report a 66-year-old female patient with a tumor in the lower lobe of the right lung and present the clinicopathological features and review the literature.Case presentationA tumor in the lower lobe of the right lung was found incidentally on chest X-ray during the physical examination of the patient, and the patient occasionally had a dry cough that was not treated. The tumor was clearly demarcated and lobulated on CT scan. After 2 years of follow-up, the boundary of the tumor was still clear, with more lobulations and the enhanced scan showed uniform enhancement. Grossly, the tumor had a granular cut surface and was easy to fall off, which was helpful for the diagnosis of papillary adenoma during intraoperative frozen examination. Under the microscope, most areas of the tumor had the typical morphological structure of papillary adenoma. However, the tumor locally protruded into the surrounding lung tissue, accompanied by crowded cells and high cell proliferation index. It was suggested that this case of papillary adenoma had malignant potential and needed active intervention and treatment.ConclusionPulmonary papillary adenoma is a rare epithelial tumor with malignant potential. Surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible after diagnosis to prevent malignant transformation.

An unusual case report of pulmonary adenoid cystic carcinoma metastasis to the kidney. Case report and literature review.

Project description:Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a malignant neoplasm, frequently affecting the salivary glands, and rarely occurring in other locations. ACC is characterized by slow growth, perineural invasion, local and late recurrence after original treatment. However, renal metastasis of ACC is very rare. To our best knowledge, only 11 cases of ACC metastasis to the kidney have been reported in the English literature to date. Herein, we presented a rare case of a 70-year-old man with renal metastasis from ACC of the right lung after 3 years of primary presentation. Our patient underwent right radical nephrectomy and histologically confirmed as Metastatic Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma.
