Pneumothorax in otherwise healthy non-intubated patients suffering from COVID-19 pneumonia: a systematic review.

Background: Cases of spontaneous pneumothorax have been described in patients suffering from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. The aim of this study is to systematically review all the cases of spontaneous pneumothorax that occurred in healthy patients with no underlying lung disease and who did not receive invasive mechanical ventilation.

Methods: A PubMed research was conducted.

Lipiodol lymphangiography as a treatment for refractory postoperative chylothorax: a case report.

Postoperative chylothorax is the most frequent cause of traumatic thoracic chyle leakage. Conservative treatment is primarily used to treat low flow rate chylothoraces and should be initiated as soon as the diagnosis has been made. In case of high flow rate chylothorax or failure of initial treatment, surgery and radiological treatment are indicated.

Pleural empyema caused by .

was first identified in 1995. To the best of our knowledge, pleural empyema caused by has never been reported. In the case reported herein, a patient with pleural empyema was treated surgically, and in the bacterial samples, was isolated.

Survival and treatment outcome of head and neck cancer patients with pulmonary oligometastases.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the outcome of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients developing lung metastasis.

Design: Retrospective study.

Participants: HNSCC patients with lung metastasis treated between 2001 and 2018 were included.

VATS approach for pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma: a case report.

Introduction: Pulmonary Sclerosing Pneumocytoma (PSP) is a rare type of benign lung tumor usually encountered in middle-aged Asian women. The lesion is mostly found on routine chest x-rays. Though surgery is recognized as the recommended treatment, there is no consensus on the standard operative procedure for this tumor.

Pneumothorax and Pregnancy: A Systematic Review of the Current Literature and Proposal of Treatment Recommendations.

Introduction: Spontaneous pneumothorax occurs rarely during pregnancy with less than 100 cases reported in the English literature. There is no strong evidence concerning the treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax during pregnancy and labor. The aim of this study is to systematically review all the reported cases and to suggest recommendations for its diagnosis and treatment.

Intrathoracic hooked wire migration managed by minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery.

Needle-guided localization wire is widely used to locate non-palpable breast lesion before surgery. A rare complication of this technique is wire migration. We report a case of an intrathoracic hooked wire migration in a 41-year-old female treated by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).
