Isolated Pancreatic Tuberculosis Mimicking Malignancy in an Immunocompetent Host
Despite the high prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) worldwide, pancreatic TB is rare. When present, pancreatic TB is frequently associated with miliary TB, often in immunocompromised hosts. Pancreatic TB may present as a pancreatic abscess, acute or chronic pancreatitis, and cystic or solid pancreatic masses. We present a case of an immunocompetent patient who presented with two discrete pancreati...
متن کاملEndobronchial pulmonary cryptococcosis and tuberculosis in an immunocompetent host.
Pulmonary cryptococcosis presenting as an endobronchial tumour-like growth has rarely been described. We report the case of a male patient with normal immune function who presented with a right upper lobe mass lesion. Bronchoscopy revealed a tumour-like growth that completely occluded the anterior segment of the right upper lobe bronchus. Bronchial biopsy and computed tomography-guided lung bio...

first-line treatment to improve gas exchange (89%) and was a valid tool as support to clearance techniques (68%) and to exercise training (43%). The main criteria to propose NIV, according to physiotherapists who use NIV (n528), were hypercapnic pulmonary exacerbation, awaiting lung transplantation, severe impairment of pulmonary function and difficulties experienced with clearing secretions (f...
متن کاملLarge Solitary Pulmonary Cryptococcoma Mimicking Lung Carcinoma in an Immunocompetent Patient.
Cryptococcosis is a life-threatening mycosis typically seen in immunocompromised patients. Pulmonary cryptococcosis generally presents as multiple or solitary nodular opacities. Cryptococcal infection presenting as a destructing cavernoma (cryptococcoma) without diffuse infiltration of the lung is an extremely rare presentation, even in immunocompromised patients. This report presents a healthy...
متن کاملPulmonary mucormycosis presenting as an endobronchial lesion.
A 56-year-old diabetic man presented with left upper lobe collapse and postobstructive pneumonitis. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed an endobronchial mass obstructing the left mainstem bronchus. The lesion resembled a bronchial adenoma; however, cytologic and histologic examination revealed invasive mucormycosis. The patient was treated with intravenous amphotericin B followed by endoscopic las...
