We report 2 cases of facial bullae occurring subsequent to full-face carbon dioxide laser skin resurfacing. Although the cause is unknown, both responded to potent topical corticosteroid treatment. Laser resurfacing is a relatively new procedure, and physicians should be aware of this complication.

Spontaneous Pneumothorax Due to Ruptured Bulla of the Azygos Lobe.

Azygos lobe is an uncommon anatomic variant that is widely recognized, but rarely associated with pneumothorax. We present a successful surgical management of a spontaneous pneumothorax resulting from rupture of a bulla in an incidentally discovered azygos lobe. The patient is a 73-year-old man who presented with the first-time occurrence of a spontaneous right pneumothorax.

A meticulous examination of the oral cavity is an essential part of the initial newborn assessment. The differential diagnosis can involve benign and self-limiting lesions to those lesions compromising quality of life. We present a clinical case of a newborn born with a purple, hard tumour on the hard palate that spontaneously regressed, being thus compatible with the case of a sucking blister.

Background: We aimed to assess the outcomes of reduced port surgery using "marionette technique" in patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) compared to conventional three-port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery( VATS).
Methods: Ninety patients were enrolled in this study from August 2015 to July 2021. The marionette technique was performed as follow.
Mediastinal Extralobar Pulmonary Sequestration Concurrent With Spontaneous Pneumothorax: A Case Report of Difficult Preoperative Diagnosis.

First Department of Surgery, Hamamatsu University School of Medicine, Hamamatsu, JPN.
Extralobar pulmonary sequestration (EPS) in the mediastinum is rare, and preoperative diagnosis can be challenging. We report a case of EPS in the middle mediastinum, where a congenital pericardial defect became apparent on computed tomography (CT) imaging as pneumopericardium concurrent with spontaneous pneumothorax. The patient presented with a left spontaneous pneumothorax.

- Bullous emphysema is a chronic lung disease marked by the presence of large air spaces called bullae, with giant bullae being particularly significant and often requiring surgical removal known as bullectomy.
- A 35-year-old man with a history of COVID-19 experienced chest pain and difficulty breathing, leading to the discovery of a giant bulla in his left lung on imaging scans.
- Remarkably, after monitoring over several months, the giant bulla spontaneously resolved without surgery, suggesting that infectious processes may play a role in this phenomenon, highlighting the importance of careful imaging and follow-up in similar cases.
