Pleural mesothelioma is the disease of elderly, usually in seventh decade life. Asbestos exposure most common finding among these patients. Other causes include a simian virus, radiation exposure, genetic predisposition and erionite. Common symptoms shortness breath, weight loss, dull achy chest pain on site lesion anorexia. effusion video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) biopsy investigation choi...
BACKGROUND Some trials recently demonstrated the benefit of targeted treatment for malignant disease; therefore, adequate tissues are needed to detect the targeted gene. Pleural biopsy using flex-rigid pleuroscopy and pleural effusion cell block analysis are both useful for diagnosis of malignancy and obtaining adequate samples. The purpose of our study was to compare the diagnostic utility bet...
discussion according to review of the literature and considering all treatment modalities the patients was successfully treated with a combination of radiotherapy, pamidronate and thalidomide. we suggest that this disease should be considered among differential diagnoses of patients with chest pain, pleural effusion and/or chylothorax with an unknown reason and more importantly history of chest...
The value of determination of pleural fluid glucose, pH, lactic dehydrogenase, IgG, IgA, IgM, C3, C4, anti-IgG antibody, and hydroxyproline in distinguishing between pleural effusions caused by rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and those resulting from other diseases was studied. The series comprised seven patients with RA and 115 patients with other diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus, tub...
BACKGROUND Positron emission tomography (PET) with 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is an accurate method for differentiating benign from malignant disease. The use of FDG-PET for the aetiological diagnosis of pleural disease was investigated in 25 patients. METHODS PET was performed on each subject before invasive procedures were used to determine the aetiological diagnosis. The PET data were ana...
Although pleural involvement is relatively common in cystic hydatid disease, one of the rarest and least known complications is secondary pleural hydatidosis. We report the case of a patient who presented with polycystic secondary pleural hydatidosis 4 yrs after treatment for a pyopneumothorax caused by rupture of a pulmonary cyst near the pleural space. Due to the coexistence of severe chronic...
Background and purpose : Malignant and infectious diseases are the most frequent causes of pleural effusion. Malignant diseases produce pleural effusion through different mechanisms: lymphatic and capillary obstruction, pneumonia or atelectasia. Therefore absence of tumor cells in aspirated effusion, highly declines the sensivity of the cytologic study. For this reason, the use of tumor marke...
AIM To examine the presence of radiologically visible lung and pleural changes in patients who were exposed to the asbestos dust, and to correlate the progression of these changes with the duration and intensity of exposure and smoking. We also evaluated possible correlation between non-malignant asbestos-related pleural abnormalities and the occurrence of malignant pleural mesothelioma. METH...
Pleural disease in Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma is well documented and commonly presents with pleural effusion in 20% of patients. However, solid pleural involvement is less common and is usually a secondary event. Primary pleural lymphomas are extremely rare. Hereby we report a rare case of primary pleural lymphoma presenting as chylothorax.
