miliary mottling on chest radiography is seen in miliary tuberculosis, certain fungal infections, sarcoidosis, coal miner’s pneumoconiosis, silicosis, hemosiderosis, fibrosing alveolitis, acute extrinsic allergic alveolitis, pulmonary eosinophilic syndrome, pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, and rarely in hematogenous metastases from the primary cancers of the thyroid, kidney, trophoblasts, and so...

BACKGROUND Pulmonary enteric adenocarcinoma (PEAC), a rare type of non-small cell lung cancer, has similar histological and immunohistochemical morphology to colorectal adenocarcinoma. Cadherin-17 (CDH17) and SATB homeobox 2 (SATB2) immunoexpression have recently been demonstrated in colorectal adenocarcinoma. In this study, we evaluated the value of CDH17 and SATB2 in the diagnosis of pulmonar...

Objective Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma has a five year survival rate of 20% following radical surgical resection. The aggressive tumor biology and heterogenous nature of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma results in metastatic spread which further decreases overall survival. We report a patient who successfully underwent a pulmonary metastasectomy five years after the resection of a pancreati...

Lung adenocarcinoma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are pulmonary diseases that share common aetiological factors (tobacco smoking) and probable dysregulated pathways. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an essential role in regulating numerous physiological and pathological processes. The purpose of this study was to assess global miRNA expression patterns in patients with COPD and/or ade...

Acquired pulmonary stenosis was diagnosed in a 53 year old woman presenting with the unusual feature of an oral murmur. Mediastinotomy showed extensive malignant tissue surrounding the pulmonary artery, although a mediastinal mass was not evident on chest radiographs. Histological examination confirmed a pleomorphic adenocarcinoma, which has not previously been reported as causing acquired pulm...

Pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis (PLC) is the diffuse infltration of lymphatic systems by adenocarcinomas. Because of its vague clinical symptoms and absence of malignant features, confrmatory diagnosis requires transbronchial or open-lung biopsy. Tumor spread is postulated to occur by means of retrograde lymphatic permeation with tumor growth along the lymphatic channels and involvement o...

Sheep (ovine) pulmonary adenocarcinoma (SPA), also known as ovine pulmonary adneomatosis (OPA),jaagsiekte and ovine pulmonary carcinoma (OPC) is a contagious lung tumor in sheep and, more rarely, ingoats. This study was carried out in Khuzestan, in the southwest of Iran for a period of six months. A totalnumber of 3985 native breed goats were clinically inspected and postmortem examination was ...

In article number 2100152, Zhu, Yang, Jiang, and co-workers from Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital established a noninvasive assessment of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in lung adenocarcinoma (LAD) through the detection folate receptor-positive (FR+) circulating tumor cells (CTCs) methods. Preoperative FR+CTCs' showed good correlations with positive nodes (LNs) ratio LNs to removed LNs, having predicti...
