Case Report: Idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis.

Idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (IPPFE) is a very rare and a slowly conspicuous progressing chronic lung disease, which usually involves the upper lobes of the lung. This unusual disease, first recognized as a rare idiopathic interstitial pneumonia in 2013, is characterized by dense fibrosis of the visceral pleura and the subjacent lung parenchyma accompanied by elastosis predominating in the subpleural alveolar walls. In the interest of improving our understanding of this uncommon disease, we report a case of IPPFE established by pathology results.

Case Report: A very rare case of a Pleural Effusion revealing Multiple Myeloma.

Multiple myeloma is a common malignant bone-based disease. Pleural effusions reported in these patients remain rare. It is commonly due to congestive heart disease, pulmonary embolism, nephrotic syndrome or a second neoplasia.

Case Report: Tracheal infiltration with wheezing revealing Hodgkin's disease.

Hodgkin's disease with an initial tracheobronchial involvement is not common. The symptoms might be misleading, resulting in a diagnosis delay. We report the case of a 38-year-old woman with a one-month history of wheezing associated with a dry cough.

Case Report: Mepolizumab in the treatment of idiopathic chronic eosinophilic pneumonia.

Idiopathic chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (ICEP) is a rare interstitial lung disease of unknown cause. It usually responds well to systemic corticosteroid therapy, but relapses are frequent. We describe two cases of 21- and 27-year-old patients, presenting with dyspnea.

A recurrent side-changing febrile pleural effusion revealing familial Mediterranean fever: a case report.

Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF), characterized by recurrent polyserositis, is an autosomal recessive disease involving essentially Mediterranean populations. We report the case of a 30-year-old Tunisian military patient complaining of fever and chest pain recurring on board a Navy military vessel, due to side-changing pleural effusion. On landing, a marked improvement of symptoms was noticed.

Precision of pleural puncture sites using thoracic ultrasound.

Introduction: Lung ultrasound (LUS) has been recommended by the British Thoracic Society as a standard of care before performing pleural procedures since 2010. Indeed, the choice of the puncture site based only on physical examination and chest x-ray can lead to complications. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of pleural puncture sites using LUS as opposed to clinical examination.

Spontaneous Resolution of a Pulmonary Cystic Amyloidosis Mass.

Introduction: Amyloidosis is a rare illness characterized by the deposition in organs of amyloid, which can be detected by histological staining. Amyloidosis restricted to the lower respiratory tract is unusual.

Results: We reported the case of a 68-year-old woman with no history of chronic diseasewho presented with dyspnoea on exertion, cough and fatigue.

Massive Haemoptysis Treated with Bronchial Artery Embolisation in COVID-19 Infection.

Background: Massive haemoptysis is a rare symptom ofcoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Management can be very challenging due to the lack of clear recommendations.

Case Description: We report a case of massive recurrent haemoptysis in a young patient who tested positive for COVID-19 with successful management using endovascular embolization.

Second lung malignancy and Richter syndrome in chronic lymphocytic leukemia: case report and literature review.

Background: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most frequent lymphoproliferative disease. Transformation into Richter disease and occurrence of second malignancies involving the lungs are rare complications. The hallmarks of any thoracic involvement are still unknown.
