Exhaustive preoperative staging increases survival in resected adrenal oligometastatic non-small-cell lung cancer: a multicentre study.

Objectives: Adrenal oligometastatic non-small-cell lung cancer is rare, and surgical management remains controversial.

Methods: We performed a multicentre, retrospective study from January 2004 to December 2014. The main objective was to evaluate survival in patients who had undergone adrenalectomy after resection of primary lung cancer.

A Predictive Score for Bronchopleural Fistula Established Using the French Database Epithor.

Background: Bronchopleural fistula (BPF) remains a rare but fatal complication of thoracic surgery. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a predictive model of BPF after pulmonary resection and to identify patients at high risk for BPF.

Methods: From January 2005 to December 2012, 34,000 patients underwent major pulmonary resection (lobectomy, bilobectomy, or pneumonectomy) and were entered into the French National database Epithor.

[Immuno-histochemical study contribution in thoracic endometriosis: about an analysis of eight cases].

Thoracic endometriosis (TE) is rare with positive histological diagnosis sometimes difficult, particularly in atypical form. The aim of this study was to identify features which can increase performance of the histolological TE diagnosis and more particularly immuno-histochemical (IHC) contribution with hormonal receptors, smooth muscle actin, Ber-Ep4, CD10 and calretinin antibodies. To address this issue, we retrieved, retrospectively, a large series of 591 pneumothorax operated.

Peripheral intrapulmonary lymph node metastases of non-small-cell lung cancer.

Since the development and progress of computed tomographic imaging, peripheral intrapulmonary lymph nodes (IPLNs) have become increasingly described and well-known entities. Intrapulmonary lymph nodes may appear as a solitary pulmonary nodular shadow mimicking a non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or as multiple nodules masquerading as carcinoma metastases. We describe a case in which IPLNs presented as a clinical "nodular" T4 N0 NSCLC that finally proved to be a pathologic T2 N1 NSCLC, thus raising new questions on this entity.
