Pseudotumors Due to Pulmonary Infarction.

[Intraparenchymal pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumors].

Inflammatory pseudotumors are rare entities which occasionally affect the pulmonary parenchyma. Their clinical diagnosis arises in a variety of ways and half the time they are detected by chance. Deciding on a therapeutic approach is difficult because a firm diagnosis is established only after studying the excised tissue. We describe our experience with the diagnosis, surgical treatment, and fo...

Two types of presentation of pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumors.

Inflammatory pseudotumors are a relatively uncommon pathology of uncertain etiology, generally considered to be reactive in origin. They may be observed in different locations as single or multiple masses. One of the possible forms of presentation is intrapulmonary. Despite its low frequency, this pathology should be considered in the differential diagnosis of lung nodules, even though the hist...

Prognostic Impact of Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction Risk Index on Hospitalization Mortality of Patient with Acute Pulmonary Embolism

Introduction: Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is one of the deadly cardiovascular diseases. One of the indexes proposed in these patients for risk stratification is the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk index (TRI), which includes three parameters of systolic blood pressure, age, and heart rate. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of TRI on in-hospit...

Immunoglobulin G4-related systemic sclerosing disease in a patient with sclerosing cholangitis, inflammatory pseudotumors of the lung and multiple radiological patterns: a case report

IgG4-related systemic sclerosing disease (IRSSD) is a new clinical entity that is characterized by elevated levels of serum IgG4; plasma cell infiltrates in tissues, including the pancreas, lung, liver, kidney and breast; and a good response to corticosteroid therapy. We report a case of a patient with sclerosing cholangitis and pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumors. The diagnosis was made twelve...
