Pneumocytic adenomyoepithelioma: A case providing support for the benignity of this extremely rare pulmonary neoplasm.

Pneumocytic adenomyoepithelioma is an extremely rare and poorly understood pulmonary neoplasm, so experience with this tumor is limited. Since the initial case series where the lesion was first proposed as a distinctive entity, only one additional report has been described. We present a case of pneumocytic adenomyoepithelioma with clinical and radiologic data that provide the first long-term evidence of the benignity of this extremely rare pulmonary neoplasm.

FilmArray Respiratory Panel Assay: Comparison of Nasopharyngeal Swabs and Bronchoalveolar Lavage Samples.

The FilmArray respiratory panel (FARP) reliably and rapidly identifies 17 viruses and 3 bacterial pathogens. A nasopharyngeal swab FARP (NP FARP) is performed for many patients with respiratory symptoms. For patients who are acutely ill or immunocompromised or fail to improve, a bronchoalveolar lavage sample FARP (BAL FARP) is performed in addition to the NP FARP.
