Pulmonary arterial enlargement predicts cardiopulmonary complications after pulmonary resection for lung cancer: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: The finding of pulmonary arterial enlargement on computed tomography has been reported to be associated with pulmonary hypertension. On the other hand, pulmonary hypertension is a known risk factor for thoracic surgery. We investigated whether pulmonary arterial enlargement predicts cardiopulmonary complications following pulmonary resection for lung cancer.

Intravenous Lobular Capillary Hemangioma Occurring after Needle Insertion during Routine Health Checkup.

Surgery was performed on a 53-year-old male patient with a painful mass in front of the elbow. The mass originally occurred after needle insertion during a routine health checkup and grew in size during a 1-year period. Intravenous tumor with arterio-venous fistula was diagnosed, and it was resected.
