however there are few articles in describing the radiographic appearance of this entity. So we evaluated chest xray of 24 cases with radiologically proved round pneumonia in our hospital in a period of 12 years. Age, sex, clinical and radiological findings of location, number of lesion are evaluated. According to this study mean age of patients was 4 years old(1 month -11 years). 10 cases (42%)...

A middle aged female presented with symptoms of chronic cough, breathlessness, fatigue and weight loss of 4 months duration. Chest Xray (CXR) was suggestive of bilateral upper lobe mass lesion with a differential diagnosis in favour of malignancy. Contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) chest showed collapse of right upper lobe and left upper lobe. Bronchoscopy showed thick gelatinous glob...

Background: The optimal chemotherapeutic regimens for thymic cancers still remain controversial, although systemic chemotherapy is an important therapeutic modality for unresectable thymic cancer. In general, platinumbased regimens such as CODE and ADOC are widely used. However, several serious side effects of the platinum therapy may significantly restrict its efficacy for clinical application...

A 67-year-old woman with multiple myeloma and recently treated left upper pneumonia was admitted to the hospital for acute-onset shortness of breath. Chest radiography showed a left upper lobe infiltrate. CT angiography revealed right-sided pulmonary embolus. IV heparin was started through a new right subclavian central venous catheter. The patient was then transferred to the Methodist Hospital...

Congenital lobar emphysema is a rare variety of congenital malformation of lung characterized by over distension of a lobe of the lung due to partial obstruction of the bronchus. It is one of the rare causes of infantile respiratory distress requiring surgical resection of affected lobe. We are reporting the case of an 8-week-old baby who presented with respiratory distress related to CLE affec...

Lung agensis is a rare developmental anomaly. It can range from total bronchial and parechymal agensis to mild pulmonary parenchymal hypoplasia of one or both lungs. A case of lobar agenesis of the left upper lung in a 15-year-old boy is presented. The patient had mild exertional dyspnea. Pulmonary angiography revealed the absence of the left upper pulmonary artery and vein. Bronchography showe...

the right lung becomes functionally impaired as a result of lung disease or surgery. For instance, a right pneumonectomy could have fatal consequences in a patient with partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage of the left upper lobe. In such a situation, shunt volume would dramatically increase to 50% of total pulmonary blood flow, and only the left lower lobe would be contributing to the sy...

primary hepatic lymphoma (phl) was a rare malignancy usually presenting with abdominal pain, malaise, hepatomegaly, b-symptoms, fatigue, nausea, vomiting and jaundice. it mostly involves liver without any palpable lymphadenopathy and leukemia in peripheral blood smear. on july 22, 2014, a 64 year old man presented with abdominal pain localizing in right upper quadrant and fullness from 2 years ...

A 52-year old female was admitted for treatment of lung cancer in the right upper lobe. A left-sided serpentine opacity was incidentally detected and a pulmonary arterio-venous malformation was suspected (Fig. 1). However, pulmonary varix associated with an anomalous unilateral single pulmonary vein was diagnosed by imaging studies (Fig. 2, Supplementary Video 1). Supplementary material (Video ...
