Adolescent with severe granulomatosis with polyangiitis: a case report.

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a rare vasculitis among adolescents. Its pulmonary manifestations may mimic tuberculosis. We report the case of a 16-years-old female patient with multiple excavated lung nodules revealed by a chronic cough, hemoptysis, epistaxis and weight loss.

[Parietal tuberculosis complicated by pulmonary embolism].

Tuberculosis is a frequent infectious disease in developing countries. It can affect the lung or spread to other parts of the body. Extra-pulmonary tuberculosis poses a major diagnostic problem.

[Bilateral pulmonary hydatid cyst].

Hydatid disease is the most common human cestodosis. Pulmonary localization is the 2 largest visceral locations after liver localization. The imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis and staging.

[Localised bronchiectasis revealing carcinoid tumor].

We here report the case of a 32-year old female patient with a 5-year history of recurrent purulent bronchial syndrome. Radiological assessment showed a left basithoracic finely ringed bright areas related to cylindrical bronchiectasis located in the left lower lobe. Flexible bronchoscopy showed smooth surface, reddish tumor obstructing the entrance of the left basal pyramid.

[Diffuse and calcified nodular opacities].

Pulmonary adenocarcinoma is difficult to identify right away with respect to anamnestic and even to radiological data. We here report the case of a woman with dyspnea. Radiological examination showed disseminated micronodular opacity confluent in both lung fields with calcifications in certain locations.

Bronchiectasis: a bacteriological profile.

The occurrence of bronchiectasis can involve a combination of many environmental factors, including infection. The aim of our work is to determine the bacteriological profile of bronchiectasis. This is a retrospective study of 100 patients hospitalized in between January 2010 and July 2013.
