Computed tomography-guided trans-pulmonary-hepatic approach coil localization for pulmonary nodules near the right lung base.

Introduction: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS)-guided diagnostic wedge resection (WR) is frequently used for removal of pulmonary nodules (PNs). Preoperative computed tomography (CT)-guided coil localization (CL) is often used for guidance.

Aim: To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of CT-guided trans-pulmonary-hepatic approach CL of PNs near the right lung base.

[Metastasizing pleomorphic adenoma of the submandibular gland: a case report].

Metastasizing pleomorphic adenomas without histological evidence of malignancy have rarely been reported. A case of 30-year-old woman with a mass which showed a benign pleomorphic adenoma appearanced histologically in the left submandibular gland and right supercollarbone respectively was described. Eight years ago, the patient suffered from pleomorphic adenoma of the left submandibular gland.
