BACKGROUND Coagulopathy caused by trauma itself is defined as trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC). The pathophysiology of TIC is considered to consist of coagulation activation, hyperfibrinolysis, and consumption coagulopathy, similar to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). This report describes a 68-year-old man with a history of epilepsy presenting with TIC associated with multiple traumatic fractures and hemothorax.

- Solitary fibrous tumours of the pleura (SFTPs) are unusual growths in the lungs, usually not cancerous, and are treated by surgery when found.
- A 71-year-old man had a large SFTP that had grown over 4 years and was causing him back pain and trouble breathing, but after surgery, he recovered without issues.
- The time it took for the tumour to double in size was longer than what other studies showed, suggesting that each case might be different and more research is needed to understand these tumours better.
Background: Bronchial bifurcation abnormalities are often discovered incidentally on chest computed tomography or bronchoscopy. As this condition is asymptomatic, it has little effect on the disease course of patients with lung cancer. However, this abnormality must be considered when performing lung resection.

Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed risk factors for a poor prognosis and postoperative complications of 470 patients with clinical stage ≤ IA2 NSCLC who underwent surgery from 2012 to 2021.
Results: Among the patients with a consolidation-to-tumor ratio (CTR) higher than 0.
