Introduction: Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer related deaths in the world. The incidence of lung cancer is increasing in India and there is a need to understand the natural history of this disease. Aim of the study: To study the clinico- pathological- radiological profile of patients diagnosed with lung cancer from January 2013 to May 2015 at a tertiary care teaching hospital...

A diagnosis of PneumocysHs carinii pneumonia was made in seven patients by the technique of transbronchoscopic lung biopsy. In this technique, flexible forceps are inserted through a rigid broncbosrrope. No false wgathre re& were obtained, that is, no other cases of pneumocysHs pneumonia were discovered by any additional technique, including autopsy, among a group of 525 patients with difiuse p...

Lung transplant patients commonly undergo transbronchial biopsy to evaluate for rejection. Post-biopsy radiographs are used to exclude pneumothorax, one of the most common major complications. We report a lung transplant patient who developed a pneumothorax 5 months after transbronchial biopsy, with multiple intervening chest computed tomograms documenting that the pneumothorax developed from t...

INTRODUCTION Fungal pneumonia is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients with hematological diseases. This study is aimed to evaluate the feasibility and outcome of computed tomography (CT) guided lung biopsy or fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in the diagnosis of fungal pneumonia in patients with hematological diseases. METHODOLOGY Seven hundred and seven...

Abstract Background Computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy of the lung is a well-established method of diagnosis. The aim of this study was to determine the success rate of fluoroscopic CT (FCT) and conventional CT (CCT) in needle navigation biopsies from the lung lesions. Materials and Methods A total of 78 patients were prospectively enrolled to receive CT-guided biopsy with (group I, n=2...

Objective: The goal of this study was to better define the frequency of unexpected diagnoses made by open lung biopsy, the frequency with which biopsy results lead to a change in clinical management, and the frequency of procedural complications in patients with diffuse pulmonary infiltrates requiring mechanical ventilation. Methods: This is an observational, non-controlled study, with prospect...

metastasis from a malignant tumor to the palatine tonsils is rare, accounting for only 0.8% of all tonsillar tumors, with only 100 cases reported in the english-language literature. various malignant lung carcinomas may metastasize to the tonsils. a few cases of tonsillar metastasis from neuroendocrine lung carcinoma have been reported. a 67-year-old female underwent a right tonsillectomy becau...
