A very rare case of Askin's tumor is described. A 22-year-old male was admitted to our hospital because of an abnormal shadow on chest roentgenogram. His chest X-ray film showed a tumor shadow (4.

Immunoglobulin G4-related lung disease accompanied by organizing pneumonia.

The full picture of immunoglobulin G4-related lung disease (IgG4-RLD) has not yet been elucidated. A 69-year-old man was referred to us with a more than 2-week history of productive cough and fatigue. Chest CT showed an airspace consolidation along the bronchovascular bundles.

Pulmonary hypertension confirmed histologically five months prior to scleroderma renal crisis onset.

A 69-year-old man presented shortness of breath and acute renal failure. He had undergone pulmonary partial resection for lung cancer 5 months prior. On examination, severe hypertension, skin sclerosis of his forearms, and anticentromere antibody were observed.

[Sleeveresection of the left main bronchus for bronchogenic carcinoid for preserving lung parenchyma].

Unlabelled: We performed bronchoplasty for a bronchogenic tumor of low-grade malignancy without lung parenchyma resection. A 69-year-old man visited our hospital in March 2008 because of cough. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed atelectasis of the entire left upper lobe and a 2-cm mass with strong contrast enhancement in the lumen of the left main bronchus.

The approach that should be used for an anterior apical tumor still remains controversial. Since a modified open door method was very useful for the widening of the surgical field in a recent patient with an anterior apical tumor, an outline of this case is reported. The patient was a 66-year-old male with squamous cell carcinoma of the anterior apical region of the right lung (suspected to be invading the thoracic wall, cT3N1M0).
