Research paper thumbnail of Bilateral Changes in the Lungs of a Pregnant Woman Caused By Bilateral Spontaneous Pneumothorax

The disease is manifested by diffuse destruction of the pulmonary parenchyma with the formation of cysts on a characteristic finding of multidetector computerized tomography (MD-CT) of the chest. It is thought that the presence of cells with estrogen and progesterone receptors among proliferating smooth muscle cells lead to the spread of cystic structures lined by endothelial cells. Towards the end of pregnancy and after childbirth, collapse of the lung parenchyma or rupture of the cyst wall occurs causing a dramatic clinical picture in the form of pneumothorax. Sirolimus is the only drug of choice that should improve and stabilize the patient’s pulmonary function and quality of life. Unfortunately, this drug is not always effective enough, so only option for treatment is bilateral lung transplantation. The authors present the patient in the last trimester of pregnancy who was admi...

Etiology of this disease is still unknown. The disease can be solitary and multicentric or rarely of a mixed type. The former is often of hyaline vascular type, while the latter is of plasma cell type. CASE REPORT Castleman disease was diagnosed in a 26-year old male patient when a well defined shadow was incidentally detected in the middle lobe of the right lung. A year before, he was diagnosed with allergic rhinitis to Ambrosia. Two years after surgery the patient was feeling well, and was without any recurrence, however, allergic rhinitis still persisted. CONCLUSION Castleman disease can occur in any organ containing lymph tissues. Most frequently the disease is described as mediastinal, rarely as an intrapulmonary tumorous mass, and it is most frequently seen in younger persons. The solitary type of Castleman disease is surgical treatable with a prospect of good prognosis, while...

Research paper thumbnail of Histological types and age distribution of lung cancer operated patients over a 20-year period: A pathohistological based study

This is a retrospective analysis of lung cancer epidemiological changes regarding to its histological type and patients? age of both genders. Data were based on surgically treated lung cancer patients from 1985 to 2005. Methods. Data were collected from 972 pathohistological reports of operated patients of both genders divided into age groups. Histological types of lung cancer were distributed in four major groups: squamous cell cancer (SCC), adenocarcinoma (AC), small cell cancer (SCLC) and other rare histological types. Both genders together and separately were analysed. Chi-square with the level of significance p<0.05 and chi-square test for trends were used as statistical methods. Results. SCC predominated in both genders; in 44.7% females and 68.0% males. AC was less frequently diagnosed (21.8%) than SCC (64.0%) in both genders and all age groups. The most frequently operated patien...

It is mostly notified in older females and is usually solitary. According to the histological appearance, sclerosing haemangioma could be: papillary, sclerotic, solid and haemorrhagic. Case outline A 68-year old female patient was radiologically diagnosed with coin lesion in the lower right lobe. Lower right lobectomy was performed after clinical investigations. In pulmonary parenchyma, there was found a well circumscribed node of up to 35 mm in maximal diameter. The tumor was histologically established as sclerosing haemangioma, containing two types of cells with the same immunophenotype. A multiple type of tumor was excluded by postoperative radiological examinations. Two years after surgery, the patient is without disease recurrence. Conclusion Sclerosing haemangioma should be considered in patients with radiologically diagnosed "coin-like" lesions of a solid as we...
