Nephrolithiasis as a cause of hemoptysis.

We report a case of nephrobronchial fistula complicated by the development of a broncholith within the lung, which led to hemoptysis and blood loss anemia. A 71-year-old man with a medical history of untreated urinary stones was admitted for flank pain, hemoptysis, blood loss anemia, and exacerbation of chronic pyelonephritis. Computed tomography showed staghorn calculi, terminal hydronephrosis, xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis of the left kidney, nephrobronchial fistula, and large intraparenchymal pulmonary calcification.

Cardiac Lipoma Extirpation with Chronic Lung Abscess Excision: A Case Report of Simultaneous Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery Procedures.

This study examined a rarely seen benign heart tumor that was found incidentally on a chest X-ray. Radiological images were taken of a 42-year-old patient with no symptoms of a heart condition, showing a thick-walled left lung cavity that appeared after prior inflammation and concomitant enlargement of the cardiac shadow. A large subepicardial lipoma in combination with a chronic abscess on the left lung was revealed on chest computed tomography.
