Tracheal schwannomas are exceedingly rare, accounting for a minute fraction of primary tracheal tumors. They are classified into intraluminal and mixed types, with treatment strategies varying significantly between these subtypes. While thorax tomography is usually sufficient to distinguish intraluminal and mixed type, endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) can also be used in cases where the distinction cannot be made clearly with tomography.

Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women worldwide. Despite significant advancements in breast cancer treatments over the past decade, late recurrence, a hallmark of breast cancer, remains a major challenge for oncologists. In this case report, we present an atypical presentation of late breast cancer recurrence as a peri-bronchial lesion manifesting as dysphagia 14 years after completing treatment for primary breast cancer.

Purpose Of Review: Persistent air leaks, defined as an air leak extending beyond 5 days, pose a significant challenge for cardiothoracic surgeons and pulmonologists. Although current guidelines advocate for surgical intervention as the primary treatment, many patients may not suitable candidates for immediate return to the operating room. Alternatively, conservative management, which involves watchful waiting for pleural healing, often results in prolonged hospital stays and increased morbidity.

Introduction: Both combined endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) and transoesophageal bronchoscopic ultrasonography (EUS-B) and EBUS alone have been recommended for preoperative mediastinal staging of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, no randomised study comparing these two methods has been published. The purpose of the present study was to compare the sensitivity of EBUS and that of combined EBUS and EUS-B (EBUS/EUS-B) in terms of detecting N2/N3 disease during staging of NSCLC.

Background: Endobronchial tumors can infiltrate the bronchial wall or protrude into the bronchial lumen, causing post-obstructive pneumonia (POP). Differentiating between POP and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is challenging due to similar clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings, which can delay the diagnosis and treatment of endobronchial tumors.
Methods: We compared general demographic information, laboratory test results, lung CT images, bronchoscopic observations, pathological findings between the POP group and the CAP group.
