Agenesis of the Left Pulmonary Artery Associated With Hypoplasia of the Homolateral Lung: An Unusual Cause of Recurrent Respiratory Infection.

Agenesis of the left pulmonary artery represents a rare malformation, accounting for a small fraction of all cases of congenital heart disease. It is characterized by the absence of the left pulmonary artery, which can lead to respiratory and cardiac complications. This anomaly can appear on a standard chest X-ray, but it must be confirmed by a chest CT scanner, which makes it possible to visualize the absence of the left pulmonary artery and the associated parenchymal anomalies.

Bilateral Pleural Effusion Revealing a Rare Breast Tumor: A Case Report.

The most common tumors causing pleural metastasis in women are gynecological cancers, with breast cancer at the top of the list. However, the revelation of the latter by pleural effusion is rare. We report the case of a 61-year-old woman, with a history of well-controlled asthma since the age of 20, who was initially consulted for dyspnea stage III of the Modified Medical Research Council score (mMRC).

Chronic Cough Revealing a Tracheal Diverticulum: A Case Report.

Tracheal diverticulum (TD) is a rare entity in the literature. It is the consequence of a congenital or acquired weakness of the tracheal wall. The principal difference lies in the histological characteristics of the wall.

Cannonball Pulmonary Opacities Disclosing a Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis (GPA) With C-Antimyeloperoxidase (C-Anti-MPO) Antineutrophil Cytoplasm Antibodies (ANCAs).

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a necrotizing granulomatous vasculitis of medium- and small-caliber vessels associated with the presence of antineutrophil cytoplasm antibodies (ANCAs) and antibodies specific for proteinase 3 (anti-PR3). The interest of this case lies on the fact that these antibodies are directed against myeloperoxidase revealed by the presence of scattered multiple pulmonary nodules. We report a 65-year-old-female patient who presented with a productive cough with mucus sputum associated with a cephalea for six months.
