To avoid operating on pseudo tumoral pulmonary infarctions mimicking lung cancer

Pulmonary Actinomycosis Mimicking Lung Cancer

Herein, we reported on a case of solid type of pulmonary actinomycosis in a 10-year-old boy. He had productive cough for 40 days. Bronchoscopy was normal. Cmputed tomography revealed a solid large mass in the upper lobe of his left lung with mimicking malignant leisions. He was referred for surgery and underwent left upper lobectomy. Macroscopically, the specimen measured 13×9×5 cm and was crea...

Pulmonary Endogenous Fluorescence Allows the Distinction of Primary Lung Cancer from the Perilesional Lung Parenchyma

BACKGROUND Pre-therapeutic pathological diagnosis is a crucial step of the management of pulmonary nodules suspected of being non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), especially in the frame of currently implemented lung cancer screening programs in high-risk patients. Based on a human ex vivo model, we hypothesized that an embedded device measuring endogenous fluorescence would be able to distingui...

CXCL12-binding receptors expression in non-small cell lung cancer relates to tumoral microvascular density and CXCR4 positive circulating tumoral cells in lung draining venous blood.

OBJECTIVES Lung cancer is the main cause of cancer-related death in Western countries. Despite early diagnosis, approximately 40% of patients have undergone surgical resection for localized non-small cell lung cancer relapse within 24 months after surgery. Current prognostic criteria for patients with non-small cell lung cancer are gradually enriched by the discovery of critical biological mark...

Clinicopathological Characteristics of Lung Cancer Mimicking Organizing Pneumonia on Computed Tomography– A Novel Radiological Entity of Pulmonary Malignancy Running title: Lung Cancer mimicking Organizing Pneumonia

Asymptomatic pulmonary tuberculosis mimicking lung cancer on imaging: A retrospective study

Asymptomatic pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) mimicking lung cancer is rare and has been documented in few studies. Accurately diagnosing this atypical disease remains an enormous challenge for clinicians. The aim of the present study was to characterize asymptomatic patients with PTB who were initially diagnosed with lung cancer according to their chest computer tomography (CT) or whole-body 18F-f...
