Eosinophilic pleural effusions (EPE) are rare with an estimated incidence of 7.2% all effusions. EPE due to echinococcosis is exceptionally described in the literature. Pleural almost always secondary a ruptured primary lung cyst. Intrathoracic rupture hepatic hydatid cyst (HC) clinical entity into cavity less common than bronchial tree. We report case 72 year old patient, presented dyspnea, ch...

Although solitary fibrous tumor is the most common benign pleural tumor, it encountered incidentally and very rarely. A mass in chest wall was detected a computerized tomography taken due to COVID-19 infection 36-year-old female patient. The case with originating from parietal pleura treated video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. During epidemic, compute-rized of thorax, which frequently for lun...

BACKGROUND The normal visceral and parietal pleura are composed of a mesothelium-lined layer of fibrous connective tissue, consisting predominantly of collagen and elastin fibers, with interspersed nerves, lymphatics, and blood vessels. There is no normal epithelial component to the pleura, and the histologic finding of epithelial cells within pleural tissue typically indicates the presence of ...

AIMS To determine the usefulness of antibodies HBME-1 and antithrombomodulin in the differential diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma of the pleura. METHODS Using microwave antigen retrieval and streptavidin-biotin complex horseradish peroxidase immunohistochemistry the above antibodies were used to stain sections of 57 malignant mesotheliomas, 17 reactive pleural hyperplasias, 23 cases of car...

Primary malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) in a young female patient, not associated with neurofibromatosis type-I is extremely rare in the liver. A 33-year-old female was admitted with a right flank pain for a weak. The CT scan showed 12.5-cm-sized mass located at the right hepatic lobe. At laparotomy, about 20.0-cm-sized mass was on the right hepatic lobe with attachment to right...

The fibrous tumors of the pleura are rare primary tumors, accounting for 5% of malignant pleural neoplasms, which generally originate from sub-mesothelial mesenchymal tissue of the visceral pleura. These tumours generally exhibit clinical benign behavior although 12% of solitary fibrous tumors can be malignant and have worse outcomes. These tumors are considered "giant" when the lesion > 15 cm....

Hydatid cyst has a predilection to locate in liver, lungs, and brain. Intrathoracic extrapulmonary locations are generally the mediastinum, pleura, pericardium and chest wall. Pleural involvement usually follows the rupture of a pulmonary or hepatic cyst inside the pleural space causing secondary pleural hydatidosis. Radiological investigations of a patient suffering from cough and dyspnea reve...

We report a case of spontaneous haemothorax in a 19 year old boy with an exostosis of the left second rib. It may have been caused by nontraumatic rupture of markedly dilated pleural vessels, as a result of long-standing friction between the exostosis and the pleura. This is the first report of spontaneous haemothorax, without penetrative injury to the pleura or the diaphragm, in a patient with...
