Small pulmonary nodule localization techniques in the era of lung cancer screening: a narrative review.
Int J Surg
January 2025
Carcinoma Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Dianjiang People's Hospital of Chongqing, Chongqing, PR China.
The widespread adoption of high-resolution computed tomography (CT) screening has led to increased detection of small pulmonary nodules, necessitating accurate localization techniques for surgical resection. This review examines the evolution, efficacy, and safety of various localization methods for small pulmonary nodules. Studies focusing on localization techniques for pulmonary nodules ≤30 mm in diameter were included, with emphasis on technical success rates and complication profiles.

Extensive congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) of the left fetal lung and associated marked dextroposition of the fetal heart were noted at 21 weeks' gestation. The right fetal lung appeared compressed with the cardiomediastinal shift angle measuring approximately 20 degrees. Potential subsequent right pulmonary hypoplasia was considered.

Papillary fibroelastomas (PFEs) are rare, benign, primary cardiac tumors, typically found on the valve surfaces and more commonly on the left side of the heart, with occurrences in the right atrium even rarer. In this case, a highly mobile tumor was incidentally detected in the right atrium of an 83-year-old woman with advanced right lung cancer during preoperative transthoracic echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging. Although the patient was asymptomatic and of advanced age, the tumor's high mobility warranted resection.

Background: Circulating tumor cells and clusters (CTC) from soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) that become entrapped in the lung can form micro-metastases and lead to pulmonary metastatic disease. Many patients with localized high-risk STS later develop metastases. Radiation is effective at reducing local recurrence by eradicating microscopic infiltration and satellites in the reactive zone surrounding the primary tumor.

Department of Diagnostic Pathology, Miyazaki Prefectural Miyazaki Hospital, Miyazaki, JPN.
Pleomorphic adenoma of the trachea is a rare benign tumor, often challenging to diagnose due to nonspecific symptoms. We report a case of a 72-year-old female with a 10-year history of presumed bronchial asthma, presenting with persistent dyspnea. Preoperative assessment for breast cancer surgery revealed severe obstructive ventilatory impairment.
