Two cases of pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis diagnosed with transbronchial lung biopsy
Idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE) is a rare subset of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs).

متن کاملTwo cases of leiomyosarcoma of the lung.
At the beginning of this century, sarcoma of the lung was considered to be a relatively common type of tumour.
