Beware of spurious tracheo-bronchial stents.

Objective: To present a case of accidental sheath removal of tracheo-bronchial self-expandable metallic airway stent in a patient with endotracheal tumour.

Methods: Design: Case Report; Setting: Tertiary care hospital; Patient: One.

Results: A 65 years male, follow up case of endotracheal tumor with tracheo-bronchial self-expandable metallic stenting done presented with dry cough and difficulty in breathing since 8-10 days and suddenly coughed out thin whitish paper-like material 2 days back (which later proved as sheath of metallic stent).

Mycobacterium W. - An unusual side effect.

Objective: To present an interesting case of unusual side effect of Mycobacterium W. in an adult COVID 19 positive male and discuss its assessment and management.

Methods: - DESIGN: Case Report.

Sjogren's syndrome-An interesting case.

Objective: To present a case of Sjogren syndrome with pulmonary manifestations in an adult female and discuss its assessment and management.

Design: Case Report.

Setting: Tertiary care hospital.

Thoracoscopic practices in India-a survey by Indian chest society.

Background: Diagnostic thoracentesis is the initial diagnostic investigation in the workup of an undiagnosed Pleural effusion. However, a significant percentage of pleural effusions remain undiagnosed after this step and after closed pleural biopsy. Medical thoracoscopy (MT) has a high diagnostic yield in these patients.

Opaque hemithorax - An interesting case.

Objective: To present an interesting case of left opaque hemithorax in an adult female and discuss its assessment and management.

Methods: Design: Case Report.

Setting: Tertiary care hospital.

Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy by twin bronchoscopes (kissing technique).

Objective: To introduce a new & novel method of obtaining big lung tissue samples by transbronchial lung cryobiopsy by twin bronchoscopes (kissing technique) in an advanced interventional pulmonology suite.

Methods: In patients of diffuse parenchymal lung diseases, transbronchial lung cryobiopsy were taken using this novel approach using simultaneously two bronchoscopes under C- arm guidance under conscious sedation. First, a standard fibreoptic bronchoscope was inserted intranasally and fixed just above the area to be biopsied, then fogarty's catheter was introduced through FOB's suction channel and protruded it at the biopsy site.

Radiology quiz- dancing ball.

We are presenting an interesting case of Pneumonia, who after good initial response deteriorated with recurrent hemoptysis. On culture of bronchial aspirate, patient had coexisting fungal infection and on repeat bronchoscopy showed a unique and rare picture. There was a dancing ball in RUL which was moving.

DISPOSABLE COVID BOX - A new invention.

Objective: To introduce a new method to do safe bronchoscopy, a highly aerosol generating procedure through disposable COVID box in this difficult COVID time.

Methods: We have introduced an unbelievably cheap and effective method "DISPOSABLE COVID BOX". We took an acrylic board 70 × 20 cm and attached 3 bars 32 cm long and slide it under the side of the patient.

Endobronchial capillary hemangioma a rare cause of hemoptysis.

Endobronchial capillary hemangioma is a very rare benign tumor in adults. The clinical presentation and management of adult capillary hemangiomas involving the tracheobronchial tree are not yet established. We present a case of an isolated capillary hemangioma of the right main bronchus detected during the evaluation of an adult male presented with hemoptysis.

Case of urinothorax - A rare presentation.

Urinothorax (UT) is a rare and often undiagnosed condition, defined as the presence of urine in the pleural cavity due to the retroperitoneal leakage of urine (known as urinoma) into the pleural space. It is a rare cause of pleural effusion and is secondary to traumatic or obstructive reasons. UT is usually a transudate pleural effusion.
