Imaged thoracoscopic surgery is a technique utilized to operate on the intrathoracic organs without making a formal thoracotomy incision. Eleven patients underwent lung biopsy with this procedure and each had markedly reduced postoperative pain. Each patient resumed preoperative activity levels within one week of discharge from the hospital. Besides thoracotomy and thoracoscopy, imaged thoracos...
متن کاملLeydig cell tumor with lung metastasis diagnosed by lung biopsy.
Leydig cell tumors are very rare and account for only 3% of testicular tumors and are generally benign. Only less than 0.2% of all testicular cancers were evidenced by metastatic spread. We report a 34-year-old man visited hospital because of coughing sputum mixed with blood. His chest CT showed bilateral patch clouding opacity.

This disease is generally considered to be highly malignant, but to be relatively susceptible to combined chemotherapy, when diagnosed in the early stage. We describe a case of intravascular lymphomatosis, presenting w...
متن کاملMedical thoracoscopic lung biopsy in interstitial lung disease: a prospective study of biopsy quality.
The aim of this study was to analyse the quality and diagnostic value of lung biopsies for the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD), taken with diathermy coagulation cup forceps during medical thoracoscopy. Patients with ILD, not specified after thorough clinical assessment, high-resolution CT (HRCT), bronchoalveolar lavage and transbronchial biopsy, were studied. Medical thoracoscopy w...
متن کاملEfficacy of video assisted thoracoscopic lung biopsy: an historical comparison with open lung biopsy.
BACKGROUND Video assisted thoracoscopic lung biopsies were compared with historical controls undergoing open lung biopsy to determine the diagnostic accuracy, effect on length of postoperative stay, and cost effectiveness of the new thoracoscopic technique. METHODS The first 25 video assisted thoracoscopic lung biopsies performed in the Edinburgh Thoracic Unit were compared with 25 historical...
