An unusual case of eosinophilic lung disease with multiple cyst formation.

We report here an unusual case of eosinophilic necrotizing inflammation of the lung that mimicked chronic eosinophilic pneumonia. A 71-year-old man who lived in an unsanitary environment and was referred to our hospital with suspected pneumonia. Peripheral blood eosinophilia was observed, and computed tomography indicated extensive consolidation with multiple cystic lesions, mainly in the left lung.

[A Case of Primary Thymic Carcinoid Treated with Everolimus and Octreotide].

A 54-year-old woman had a history of precordial pain since February 20XX and had undergone a clinical examination at a nearby medical clinic in April 20XX. Because a plain chest radiograph revealed a mass shadow, the patient was referred to us for medical evaluation. Chest computerized tomography(CT)revealed a mass measuring 12 cm in size along its major axis diameter in the anterior mediastinal region, along with the enlargement of the anterior mediastinal, parasternal, hilar, and supradiaphragmatic lymph nodes, suggesting a thymic tumor.
