An aggressive non-small cell lung cancer in nonsmokers: A case report of an unusual presentation of micropapillary lung adenocarcinoma.

We describe a case of an unusual fast growing lung micropapillary-predominant adenocarcinoma in a nonsmoker male patient without pre-existing lung disease. Adenocarcinomas have been described to be slow growing tumors, however our patient presented a fast-growing rate over a period of 21 days. When the patient failed broad spectrum antibiotic coverage, malignancy became part of the differential diagnosis.

Splenic artery aneurysms (SAA) are a rare life threatening clinical diagnosis. We present a case of a young Hispanic woman with an aneurysm of the middle branch of the splenic artery and active leakage. The defect was embolized with complete resolution of the retroperitoneal bleeding.
