Gestational trophoblastic neoplasms are tumors that occur during pregnancy, while non-gestational trophoblastic tumors have a similar histology but are present outside of gestation. Literature reports several cases of non-gestational trophoblastic tumors of primary pulmonary origin, which pose diagnostic challenges and are associated with a poor prognosis. This report details a case of somatic high-grade carcinoma with trophoblastic differentiation primarily manifesting in the left lung with recurrent pneumothoraces.

January 2025
Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden.
Background And Objectives: Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is one of the most common neurosurgical conditions. However, current evidence on postoperative outcomes exhibits variability due to small sample sizes, nonstandardized outcome assessment, and variations in surgical techniques. The aim of this study was to overcome these limitations by assessing standardized outcome measures after surgical intervention for CSDH at a high-volume population-based center favoring a uniform burr-hole craniotomy (BHC) approach.

Background: Hydatid cyst (HC) frequently affects the lungs, making it the second most common site after the liver. This study evaluated the clinical characteristics, surgical procedures, complications, laboratory findings, and factors influencing hospital length of stay (LOS) in patients undergoing surgery for pulmonary hydatid cysts.
Methods: This retrospective observational study included adult patients who underwent surgery for lung HC between 2017 and 2021.
Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approach in Pediatric Pulmonary Abscess: Two Cases and Literature Review.
J Clin Med
December 2024
Department of Pediatrics, Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 020021 Bucharest, Romania.
Pulmonary abscess is a rare but serious condition in pediatric patients, caused by severe pulmonary infection that leads to tissue destruction and necrosis. It can be classified as primary or secondary depending on the cause. Establishing an etiology in pediatric pulmonary abscesses is challenging, underscoring the essential role of advanced imaging techniques, such as computed tomography, in achieving an accurate diagnosis and differentiating among various conditions that may mimic lung abscess.
