Article Synopsis
- A 47-year-old non-smoking woman was diagnosed with lymphangioleiomyomatosis after experiencing worsening shortness of breath and having multiple air-filled cysts in her lungs, as seen through high-resolution CT scans.
- A biopsy indicated abnormal growth of immature smooth muscle cells, confirming the diagnosis linked to defects in TSC genes, which are not related to immune system issues.
- The patient faced significant lung damage, which led to a Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia infection, successfully treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, highlighting the risks of opportunistic infections due to lung damage.
A 72-year-old patient with a rare disease-exogenous lipoid pneumonia (ELP) was described. One year ago he underwent laryngectomy because of larynx carcinoma and now he was admitted to hospital because of suspicion of cancer progression in the lungs. Chest HRCT and microscopic picture of BALF suggested diagnosis of lipoid pneumonia.
