Article Abstract
A 74-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of a tracheal stenosis circumscribed with soft tissue density and a left pulmonary nodule. Open biopsy of a right submandibular lymph node revealed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and the malignant cells were positive for Epstein-Barr virus gene products. Bronchofiberscopy revealed a tracheal necrotizing ulcer. After chemotherapy, the tracheal ulcer resolved. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a case of Epstein-Barr virus-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the elderly with a tracheal ulcer.

Sevoflurane has been widely used in clinical anesthesia as an inhalation anesthetic. With the development of medicine, there have been several new applications in recent years, such as daytime surgery, labor analgesia, and combined nerve block for some surgeries. Moreover, as research progresses, it has been found that it not only has potential organ protection effects but can also be used to treat severe asthma and relieve the tracheal spasm state.

Article Synopsis
- - The study highlights the need for heightened awareness regarding the risks of peri-radiation therapy (RT) in lung cancer patients who have active autoimmune conditions, suggesting the importance of molecular testing and consultation with rheumatology before treatment.
- - A case of a 42-year-old male with non-small cell lung cancer and an autoimmune disease showed that complications like shortness of breath and cough possibly stemmed from a rare subtype of dermatomyositis, following chemotherapy and proton therapy.
- - It emphasizes the significance of evaluating patients with autoimmune diseases for rare conditions that could complicate cancer treatment and suggests considering immunosuppressive treatments during RT to mitigate risks.
