IntroductionNTRK fusion genes have been found in several solid tumors, among which NSCLC and sarcoma. Novel NTRK translocation-related tumors are still being discovered.MethodsWe report a 49-year-old patient with mass the left lower lung lobe that was resected. This specimen analyzed sequenced using targeted DNA next generation sequencing (NGS) anchored-multiplex-PCR (AMP) RNA NGS.ResultsOn pat...

Only a few years ago bronchial adenoma was considered a rare tumor. Recently, however, an increasing number of reports have been published of this neoplasm. On the basis of their experience Lindskog and Liebow3 hold that bronchial adenomata comprise 4 to 5 per cent of all pulmonary neoplasms. An adenoma originating in the bronchial wall gives rise to symptoms of obstruction, infection and haemo...

The assessment of inoperability of bronchial carcinoma by angiocardiography has received little attention in this country, and it is the purpose of this paper to discuss the value of this investigation by analysing our results in 31 cases at Leicester Chest Unit. Since the introduction of angiocardiography by Robb and Steinberg in 1938 many authors have described its use in the differential dia...

Although acrometastases are rare but clinically they are considered important. Their etiology is quite different from the metastases to other sites; bronchogenic carcinoma is by far the most frequent case. The prognosis is always similar to metastatic bronchial cancer with an average survival of three mo...

Anomalies of the bronchus can be both congenital and acquired. Several different congenital aberrations of the bronchial anatomy are commonly encountered including tracheal bronchus, accessory cardiac bronchus, and bronchial agenesis/aplasia/hypoplasia. In addition, Williams-Campbell syndrome and cystic fibrosis are two other congenital conditions that result in bronchial pathology. Acquired pa...

Carcinoid tumours occur predominantly in the gastrointestinal tract and bronchial system of the lungs, but they can originate in less common anatomical sites such as the testes, which accounts for <1% of all testicular neoplasms. Carcinoid tumour is a rare and indolent neoplasm with the potential for distant metastasis. We report on a man with metastatic right testicular carcinoid tumour who ha...

We report a case of pulmonary sarcoidosis, which initially presented as a left apical infiltrate. The later course mimicked a pulmonary neoplasm, with left upper lobe atelectasis secondary to bronchial stenosis, resulting from both endobronchial sarcoidosis and extrinsic compression by enlarged lymph nodes. Extrinsic pressure from sarcoid nodes on the left main pulmonary artery and recurrent la...

Primary epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) of the lung is an extremely rare neoplasm that originates from submucosal bronchial glands and has been found in the salivary glands, breast tissue, and sweat glands. However, only a few cases in the respiratory tract have been identified. In the literature, most pulmonary EMCs have been reported to have developed endobronchially although a few E...

Benign neoplasm of the endobronchial tree is quite rare, while endobronchial lipoma is extremely rare. The irreversible pulmonary damage is due to progressive bronchial obstruction; even so, pleural empyema is exceptionally encountered in a case of endobronchial lipoma. We report a case of a 47-year-old man who had left lung pneumonia with hemoptysis. The chest computed tomography showed cystic...

Sampling techniques are combined during bronchoscopy to increase the diagnostic yield for endobronchial malignant tumours. Bronchial biopsy provides the definitive histological diagnosis in most cases, but accompanying cytological procedures such as washing, brushing, needle aspiration or imprint cytology can increase diagnostic yield. In this prospective study, a different cytological techniqu...
