AI Article Synopsis
- Primary pulmonary extra-nodal MALT-lymphomas are rare and often require histopathological examination for accurate diagnosis due to their variable and non-specific clinical and radiological patterns.
- A case study involves a 59-year-old man with symptoms like dyspnea and dry cough, along with imaging that revealed unusual lung patterns (crazy paving) typically seen in serious lung conditions.
- After surgical intervention for diagnosis, the patient was treated with immunotherapy (Rituximab) and chemotherapy (Bendamustine), resulting in progressive improvement of his condition.
Article Abstract
Primary pulmonary extra-nodal MALT-lymphomas are very uncommon. Clinical-radiological pattern is variable and usually non-specific and a correct diagnosis usually requires the histopathological examination. Herein we report a case of a 59-year-old man presented with dyspnea at the slightest effort and dry cough. At imaging multiple pulmonary consolidations with interlobular septal thickenings and ground-glass opacities were disclosed, defining a crazy paving pattern. The surgical approach was necessary to reach the diagnosis of primary pulmonary low-grade marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT-lymphoma). Immunotherapy (Rituximab) and chemotherapy (Bendamustine) were started leading to a progressive improvement of the disease. .

Aims: Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecological cancer worldwide and its incidence is rising. The cornerstone of its management is surgical treatment with nodal staging. A monocentric study investigating the potential of the molecular biology method of one-step nucleic acid amplification (OSNA) in sentinel lymph node (SLN) analysis was conducted at our institution between April 2016 and January 2018.

Introduction: The emergence of diverse resistance mechanisms after osimertinib therapy, including on-target epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and off-target alterations, warrants investigation of novel therapeutics to overcome these challenges and improve patient outcomes.
Methods: COMPOSIT was a French, retrospective, multicenter, cohort study of the effectiveness and tolerability of osimertinib in combination with other targeted therapies in patients with advanced EGFR-mutant (EGFRm) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who harbored other oncogenic drivers as primary or acquired resistance mechanisms. Real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS), overall survival (OS), and objective response rate (ORR) were the primary endpoints.

Background: Air leakage during pulmonary resection is a major complication in thoracic surgery. It frequently occurs at sites of adhesion dissection, due to lung manipulation, and along the staple lines of automatic suturing devices, particularly in cases of pulmonary fragility such as those of emphysema and interstitial pneumonia. Persistent postoperative air leakage prolongs chest tube indwelling and extends hospitalization time.

Importance: Progressive disease (PD) in patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) varies widely in outcomes according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), version 1.1. Efforts to modify RECIST for ICI treatment have not resolved the heterogeneity in PD patterns, posing a clinical challenge.
