Background Early staging of lung carcinoma (CA) is pivotal in planning the treatment. Lymph node metastasis can be detected by imaging and invasive procedures. The 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) is an emerging noninvasive imaging modality in detecting nodal metastasis.

Background: The evaluation of mediastinal lymphadenopathy and masses poses a diagnostic challenge because of a myriad of possible etiologic causes; their proximity to numerous vital structures and the difficulty of access for biopsy. Computed tomography is an excellent modality for the initial evaluation of mediastinal lymph nodes (LNs). Tissue diagnosis is of paramount importance to confirm the diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy.

This study aimed to compare computed tomography (CT) findings between basaloid lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and non-basaloid SCC. From July 2003 to April 2021, 39 patients with surgically proven basaloid SCC were identified. For comparison, 161 patients with surgically proven non-basaloid SCC from June 2018 to January 2019 were selected consecutively.

Modern pulmonary imaging can reveal underlying pathological and pathophysiological changes in the lungs of people with asthma, with important clinical implications. A multitude of imaging modalities are now used to examine underlying structure/function relationships including computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, optical coherence tomography, and endobronchial ultrasound. Imaging-based biomarkers from these techniques, including airway dimensions, blood vessel volumes, mucus scores, ventilation defect extent and air trapping extent, often have increased sensitivity compared to traditional lung function measurements, and are increasingly used as endpoints in clinical trials.

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.
