Spindle cell carcinoma with cystic brain metastasis: Successful treatment with stereotactic radiotherapy and anti‑programmed cell death‑1 antibodies: A case report.

Cystic brain metastasis is a rare condition that mainly originates from lung or breast adenocarcinomas. By contrast, pulmonary spindle cell carcinoma, a rare type of non-small cell carcinoma, has not been reported with this condition. Cystic brain metastases are characterized by larger tumor sizes with increased peritumoral edema compared with solid metastases.

Long-term Findings in Bullous Sarcoidosis: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Pulmonary sarcoidosis may occasionally present with large bullae, but the clinical implications of this finding remain unclear. We herein report the complete clinical course of a case of pulmonary bullous sarcoidosis. Chest computed tomography initially showed subpleural and peribronchovascular lung opacities, and bullae spontaneously developed in adjacent less-affected regions, probably via a retraction mechanism.

Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction Caused by Osimertinib in a Patient With Lung Cancer: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Osimertinib is widely used for the treatment of advanced lung cancers harboring  () mutations. Because of its inhibitory activity on the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 pathway, osimertinib-induced cardiotoxicity is concerning. Large-scale international clinical studies revealed a subclinical decline in the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) with osimertinib, which allowed a continuation of the drug.

Pulmonary infection secondary to cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis.

(. ) was first reported in patients with pulmonary infection or lymphadenitis in 2009. To date, fewer than 20 cases of pulmonary or extra-pulmonary infections have been reported with the bacterium, and the clinical features remain unclear.

Pneumothorax as a rare presentation of bronchial schwannoma.

Tracheobronchial schwannomas are rare diseases. Common signs and symptoms of this tumor include cough, wheezing, and dyspnea. In contrast, pneumothorax is an exceptional presentation.

Pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma demonstrating intratumoral hematoma.

Pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma (PSP) is a rare benign neoplasm of the lung that shows a slow growing pattern. Corresponding contrast-enhancements on chest computed tomography (CT) vary widely in both patterns and degrees. However, gross intratumoral radiolucencies, attributable to cyst formation, necrosis, or intratumoral hematoma, were rarely reported in PSP cases.

Asymptomatic Pulmonary Artery Intimal Sarcoma with Chest Wall Metastasis as an Initial Manifestation: An Autopsy Case.

Pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma (PAIS) is a rare mesenchymal malignancy arising in the pulmonary trunk or proximal pulmonary artery and shows intraluminal growth. Clinical manifestations in PAIS are predominantly related to the pulmonary artery embolism, so cases with initial symptoms related to an extrapulmonary metastasis are unusual. The present report describes an 82-year-old man without any cardiopulmonary symptoms who was detected with an abnormal shadow on chest radiography during a routine health checkup.
