Bifurcation or periphery: Where should aberrant arteries in pulmonary sequestration be divided?

Introduction: Whether aberrant arteries in pulmonary sequestration should be divided at the bifurcation or at the periphery remains a subject of debate (Kodama et al., 2016). Due to the risk of postoperative aneurysm formation followed by fetal bleeding (Rubin et al.

Postoperative hemorrhage after Le Fort I osteotomy hemostasis with angiographic embolization: report of two cases.

This study reported two cases of acute life-threatening hemorrhage after Le Fort I osteotomy. In both cases, computed tomography and angiography revealed damage to the descending palatine artery, which was successfully treated by angiographic embolization. Although massive hemorrhage after Le Fort I osteotomy is rare, acute hemorrhage from the postoperative area may occur.

Pulmonary interstitial glycogenosis in Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome-associated lung cysts: A new insight into the pathogenesis?

Multiple lung cysts are one of the major features of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHD), but little is known about their nature and pathogenesis. We report a case of a woman diagnosed with BHD lung cysts who exhibited pulmonary interstitial glycogenosis (PIG), a mesenchymal abnormality hitherto undescribed in this disease, in specimens resected at 14 and 29 years of age. Histopathologically, oval to spindle clear cells were seen in the subepithelial interstitial tissue of septal structures and the walls of the cysts.

A neuroendocrine tumor within an anterior mediastinal mature teratoma: a case report.

Background: Mature teratomas are benign germ cell tumors. On rare occasions, they have been associated with somatic malignancies and are termed rare germ cell tumors with a somatic-type malignancy (GCTSM). Mature teratomas commonly comprise adenocarcinomas; only seven previous cases of mature teratomas with neuroendocrine tumors have been reported to date.
