Diffuse pulmonary infiltrates: A guise of adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Small and non-small cell lung cancer present in a variety of radiologic and clinical patterns, and have been linked to smoking. Primary adenocarcinoma of the lung has been increasingly recognized in females and nonsmokers, often presenting a diagnostic challenge. In the absence of smoking history, these radiographic patterns may be initially misdiagnosed as an infectious or inflammatory condition, often delaying the diagnosis of malignancy. We report two cases of female patients with relatively short or no smoking history presenting with diffuse pulmonary infiltrates not typically seen in primary lung cancer, which created a diagnostic challenge, ultimately diagnosed as primary lung adenocarcinoma. Each case had different subtype patterns of adenocarcinoma. The first case described adenocarcinoma of mostly acinar pattern; while the second case was noted to have adenocarcinoma of micropapillary pattern. Given lung adenocarcinoma's nonspecific presentation, which may mimic infectious and diffuse interstitial lung disease, the above cases highlight the importance of entertaining lung adenocarcinoma as part of the differential diagnosis of such presentations.

Primary pulmonary angiosarcoma mimicking diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage: A case report

Project description:Pulmonary angiosarcomas are usually secondary tumors, and a primary angiosarcoma of the lung is extremely rare. The present study reports a case of an elderly patient diagnosed with primary pulmonary angiosarcoma (PPA). A 78-year-old man presented with a 3-month history of cough and blood in phlegm. A computed tomography scan of the chest indicated pulmonary infection with ground-glass opacity in the right upper lobe. The patient underwent lobectomy of the right upper lobe as his clinical symptoms did not significantly improve after anti-infection treatment. The postoperative pathological examination confirmed a diagnosis of PPA. He developed left lung and pelvic metastases 1 month after surgery. After four cycles of liposomal doxorubicin therapy, the patient achieved partial remission. The patient remained in sustained remission after 6 months of follow-up. The present case report is intended to provide diagnostic insight into PPA. In addition, the findings indicate that timely diagnosis and treatment of PPA are very important due to its increased risk of local recurrence and distant metastasis.

Update on diffuse alveolar hemorrhage and pulmonary vasculitis.

Project description:Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage is a clinical syndrome that can be a manifestation of multiple different causes. Identification of the underlying etiology is of utmost importance and dictates treatment. Pulmonary vasculitis including antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a common cause of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage. For AAV, treatment includes induction followed by maintenance therapy. Rituximab has an increasing role in the treatment of AAV.

Diffuse arterial embolization secondary to pulmonary vein thrombosis.

Project description:Pulmonary vein thromboses (PVT) is a complication of lung malignancy and can be complicated by arterial embolic phenomenon. Patient is a 69-year-old female with a history of coronary artery disease and recent pneumonia seen on chest x-ray who presented with progressive headache, left arm numbness and abdominal pain. She was found to have numerous bilateral strokes, bilateral renal infarction and splenic infarction. CT Chest showed a right upper lobe mass compressing the pulmonary veins with filling defects concerning for thrombus. Diagnosis of PVT is made with CT angiogram, echocardiogram and MRI. Treatment consists of anticoagulation and treatment of underlying factors.

Pulmonary enteric adenocarcinoma: a literature review.

Project description:Pulmonary enteric adenocarcinoma (PEAC) is an extremely rare type of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with a histologic pattern that mimics metastatic colorectal cancer (MCC). The main clinical symptoms in PEAC patients are dyspnoea, coughing, hemoptysis, and chest and back pain. The first article about PEAC appeared in 1991 in the form of a case report. As a variant of invasive lung carcinoma, only a small number of case reports and clinical research studies have been carried out, and the only one guidance on diagnosis and treatment is the WHO Tumor Classification book. It is important for doctors to distinguish PEAC from MCC to extend survival time and improve the quality of life. We reviewed the existing literature regarding the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of PEAC to provide some valuable clinical references.

Malignant lymphoma with diffuse cardiac involvement and pulmonary stenosis.

Project description:Lymphoma is one of the most common tumors with the risk of cardiac metastasis. The pattern of cardiac involvement is usually as focal masses. As early diagnosis of lymphoma plays a crucial role in its response to treatment and patient survival longevity, we report a rare case of cardiac lymphoma with diffuse cardiac involvement and acquired pulmonary stenosis. The patient was referred to our center for further evaluation because of dyspnea and systolic ejection murmur. In pericardial biopsy, T cell lymphoblastic lymphoma was reported. After a full course of chemotherapy and one-year follow up, symptoms had improved and echocardiography was normal except for small pericardial effusion. <Learning objective: Early diagnosis of lymphoma plays a crucial role in its response to treatment and introducing atypical presentation form could be helpful for early diagnosis.>.

Establishing a TNM-like risk classification for metachronous second pulmonary adenocarcinoma in patients with previously resected pulmonary adenocarcinoma.

Project description:BackgroundFor metachronous second pulmonary adenocarcinoma (msPAD) in patients with resected PAD, the method to distinguish tumour clonality has not yet been well established, which makes it difficult to determine accurate staging and predict prognosis.MethodsPatients received surgery for the primary and encountered msPAD were recruited into the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. We extracted overall survival 1 (OS1) for the primary, overall survival 2 (OS2) for the msPAD, and defined interval survival as the interval time between the first and second PAD. Based on the nomogram and recursive partitioning analysis, a tumor, node, metastasis staging system (TNM)-like risk stratification system was established for OS2 on the premise of suspending the dispute of tumor clonality.ResultsA total of 1,045 patients were identified. There is no significant association between interval survival and OS2. A TNM-like risk stratification system was established based on the independent pathological factors for prognosis, including tumor diameter (2nd), node metastasis (2nd), grade (2nd), and extrapulmonary metastasis (2nd). The proposed risk stratification system present well capacity in predicting and stratifying prognosis. Compared with the TNM stage system, the proposed risk stratification system presents a smaller Akaike information criterion (AIC) but larger c-index, and generates higher accuracy to predict prognosis at 160 months of follow-up according to the time-dependent receiver operating curve (ROC) curve.ConclusionsIn conclusion, the TNM-like risk stratification appears to be suitable for prognostic prediction and risk stratification for msPAD patients with former PAD resection. This model validates and refines the known classification rules based on the easily collected variables, and highlights potentially clinical implications.

Genomic landscape of a mouse model of diffuse-type gastric adenocarcinoma.

Project description:BackgroundThere is a need for a model of diffuse-type gastric cancer that captures the features of the disease, facilitates the study of its mechanisms, and aids the development of potential therapies. One such model may be Cdh1 and Trp53 double conditional knockout (DCKO) mice, which have histopathological features similar to those of human diffuse-type gastric cancer. However, a genomic profile of this mouse model has yet to be completed.MethodsWhole-genome sequences of tumors from eight DCKO mice were analyzed and their molecular features were compared with those of human gastric adenocarcinoma.ResultsDCKO mice gastric cancers harbored single nucleotide variations and indel patterns comparable to those of human genomically stable gastric cancers, whereas their copy number variation fraction and ploidy were more similar to human chromosomal instability gastric cancers (perhaps due to Trp53 knockout). Copy number variations dominated changes in cancer-related genes in DCKO mice, with typical high-level amplifications observed for oncogenic drivers, e.g., Myc, Ccnd1, and Cdks, as well as gastrointestinal transcription factors, e.g., Gata4, Foxa1, and Sox9. Interestingly, frequent alterations in gastrointestinal transcription factors in DCKO mice indicated their potential role in tumorigenesis. Furthermore, mouse gastric cancer had a reproducible but smaller number of mutational signatures than human gastric cancer, including the potentially acid-related signature 17, indicating shared tumorigenic etiologies in humans and mice.ConclusionsCdh1/Trp53 DCKO mice have similar genomic features to those found in human gastric cancer; hence, this is a suitable model for further studies of diffuse-type gastric cancer mechanisms and therapies.
